Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

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.

Bears

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.
