HP earnings: A final report from a vanished company

This is the last time Hewlett-Packard’s separated units will report earnings as one unit.

The other half of the old technology giant, HP Inc., is facing a declining market for personal computers and printers, but its new CEO, Dion Weisler, was upbeat on the future.

The company had planned to lay off 3,300 employees over the next three years, but it is accelerating that program and expects the layoffs to be completed within the year.

Up to Tuesday’s close of $13.69, HPE shares had fallen 7 percent since their market debut on November 2.

Earnings excluding items rose to 93 cents a share from 88 cents. Hewlett Packard Enterprise estimates non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $1.85 to $1.95 and GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.75 to $0.85.

Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ) rose 2.71% or 0.36 points on Wednesday and made its way into the gainers of the day. HP Inc. will eliminate 3,300 employees and target 3-D printing and A3 copiers. (NASDAQ:FINL) will next issue quarterly earnings on or around 2015-12-18 for the period ending on 2015-11-30. Revenue was down 9 percent from the 2014 fourth quarter. Analyst recommendation for this stocks stands at 2.10. For example, the NUCYNTA franchise is, in our view, a transformational value driver for Depomed that will significantly increase Depomed’s EBITDA and cash flow in 2015 and beyond.

Share of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), higher 0.46% and closed at $54.19.

It turns out that the combined HP report and guidance were short of estimates and the guidance was not that robust either. Hewlett Packard Company Reported earnings before interest, taxes, debt and amortization (EBITDA) is 12.76B.

“Digital customer interactions and experience will be the largest revenue growth driver for the automotive industry in the next 10 years”, said Li Mingqing, General Manager Information System Department, Nissan Infiniti China.

Whitman has said revenue declines in HPE’s services arm should be more modest next year. Storage sales fell 7 percent, and sales of specialized servers fell 8 percent.

HPE and Microsoft have worked collaboratively in the past to deliver technology solutions and consulting services to help clients in key industries achieve better business outcomes.

Today the new companies reported the results of their final quarter and fiscal year together and projected their outlook for the quarter to come, and the picture isn’t entirely pretty. Specifically, the change relates to the expected market-driven performance of the plan assets and interest rate movements and infrequent events in determining pension and post-retirement benefit income or expense.

Whitman has been blunt about the shortcoming of the services business, which she has said chased bad contracts for too long. “I expect to start to see positive benefits from the separation in the new fiscal year”. “Each company has a clear, well defined strategy and is well positioned to win”.

HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) saw its shares rise 2.9% to $14.64 in regular trading, but the after-hours reaction was down 5.5%. In the prior year, the firm paid out $0.09 per share in dividends, or a difference of N/A%. Technical indicators show a 50 day moving average of 13.31.
