Extended read
HP Inc. announced Q2 earnings that surpassed analyst expectations, reporting an adjusted EPS of 86 cents and a 9% year-over-year revenue growth to $14.41 billion. Despite these positive top-line results, the company's stock experienced a decline in premarket trading. This downturn was attributed to HP narrowing its full-year adjusted profit outlook to a range of $2.90-$3.10 per share. The primary reason cited for this revised outlook is the anticipated pressure on margins from rising memory and storage costs, which are expected to persist through year-end.
