HP Inc. Delivered a stronger-than-expected fiscal first quarter, posting non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.81 against a consensus estimate of $0.77, a 5.26% beat, while revenue climbed 6.9% year over year to $14.44 billion, clearing the $13.93 billion Wall … Read more HP Inc. Delivered a stronger-than-expected fiscal first quarter, posting non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.81 against a consensus estimate of $0.77, a 5.26% beat, while revenue climbed 6.9% year over year to $14.44 billion, clearing the $13.93 billion Wall Street estimate by 3.68%. The primary engine behind the quarter was a resurgent Personal Systems segment, which grew revenue 11% to $10.25 billion as AI PC demand accelerated and total PC unit shipments rose 12% year over year, more than offsetting continued softness in Printing, where revenue slipped 2% to $4.19 billion. It was also the first quarter under Interim CEO Bruce Broussard, who highlighted AI PC momentum as a durable growth catalyst going forward. As analysts had been watching closely, the company maintained its full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.90 to $3.20 and free cash flow of $2.80 billion to $3.00 billion, though rising memory costs and trade-related headwinds are expected to push results toward the lower end of those ranges.
Key Takeaways
- • Robust growth in Personal Systems driven by AI PC momentum
- • Consumer PS revenue up 16% and units up 14% year over year
- • Commercial PS revenue up 9% and units up 11% year over year
- • Non-GAAP diluted EPS up 9.5% year over year to $0.81
- • Total net revenue up 6.9% year over year (5.2% in constant currency)
HPQ Forward Guidance & Outlook
For fiscal Q2 2026, HP estimates GAAP diluted net EPS of $0.52 to $0.58 and non-GAAP diluted net EPS of $0.70 to $0.76. For full fiscal year 2026, HP maintains its annual guidance with GAAP diluted net EPS of $2.47 to $2.77 and non-GAAP diluted net EPS of $2.90 to $3.20, with free cash flow of $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion. However, given the increasingly fluid operating environment including rising memory costs and U.S. trade-related regulations, HP expects results to be at the lower end of these ranges.
