HP reported record fiscal third-quarter net revenue of $15.7 billion, a 12.5% year-over-year increase, while non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.83 easily exceeded guidance and FactSet consensus, albeit tariff refunds contributed $0.11.
HP generates steady free cash flow and returns this cash to shareholders via dividends and buybacks. High cash flow and low future expectations are not a bad combination.
HP’s core industries, PCs and printers, are low-growth and low-margin. It is hard to get excited about this business mix or know where future upside could come from.
