Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ) is currently perceived as deeply undervalued; however, experts express concerns about it potentially being a value trap. There are limitations on its growth prospects, with rising input costs putting pressure on margins. While the dividend payout ratio is comfortable at 33%, the combination of stagnant growth and negative price momentum leads to cautious sentiment towards the stock. Despite a solid brand reputation and a substantial market share, analysts are wary about the future, especially with forecasts tied closely to fluctuating commodity prices. The potential for margin increases exists, but the overall outlook remains uncertain, with some suggesting the stock holds upside potential due to its current yield of 6.21%.

DELL,DELL

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 25/05. Up 2%.) Have gone through some management changes. Looks like a good company that will become a great company. Continuing to buy.

COMMENT

Dell (DELL-Q) versus HP (HPQ-N)? A tough question. Would stick with Dell, because of its history. New management. Has a proven growth strategy over a longer term basis.

TOP PICK

Going through a real rebirth. Analysts are upgrading their earnings estimates. Typically, once an improvement starts to kick in, analysts are generally behind the curve being scepitcal. The 1st analyst increase will not be the lasat one.

SELL

Model price has risen from $28 a year ago to $30.50 now. Sold his holdings because there was value elsewhere. Would sell here.

TOP PICK

Have been going through restructuring. One of those really big businesses that if they get their restructure to start to catch, you could see significant leverage in the earnings. The technology sector underperformed all through the early part of the year, this one was extremely stable. Really beat the estimates on their earnings.

WAIT

In transition. Changes make a lot of sense as they have to get their costs down. Not adding to their holdings as they want to see if this really will work.

TOP PICK

New CEO. Restructuring. Expecting some cost savings to be created.

DON'T BUY

Generally an OK business, but not compelling. They've lost out to DEll (DELL-Q). Thinks they will carve out a niche in the market somewhere between the DEll and IBM (IBM-N) models. Will be a little while before they get their profitability models sorted out.

DON'T BUY

He has a SHORT on this stock. This is based on a long term trend. Getting cheapcompetition on their print cartridges from China. Also getting competition from Dell (DELL-Q) on their printers. Market share is dropping and will continue to do so.

SHORT

This company will suffer over the next 5 years. Now getting competition from Dell (DELL-Q) who are selling printers now. Also getting competition on ink jet cartridges. Expeccts earnings will drop in the years to come.

WATCH

Looking at sectors, NASDAQ & technology have been the weakest part of the market. These shares have been trading sideways which is a net positive, but is facing some issues such as only modest demand for PC's, business/server side doing OK, but a lot of competition in printers. Would like to see it trading $23/24 higher indicating that it is coming out of the consolidation.

BUY

Prefers over Dell (DELL-Q).

DON'T BUY

3 major business are PC's, printers and IT consulting. Dell is hurting their PC sales as well as giving them some pressure on their printers.

DON'T BUY

An OK company. Management is relatively good. At this point in the cycle, he's a little bit leery of the technology sector. Would look elsewhere.

HOLD

Has done a very good job in amalgamating Compaq and creating greater profitability. Focused in the PC area which is not having the growth needed. The technology sector is weak. If it traded below $19.50 be defensive.
