This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ) is perceived as potentially undervalued, with a forward P/E ratio under 7x, indicating a low market price relative to its earnings potential. However, experts caution that it could be turning into a value trap due to stagnant growth prospects and higher leverage than desirable. There are concerns over rising input costs, particularly in memory, putting pressure on margins. Although the dividend remains well-covered with a low payout ratio of 33% and analysts target a price of $24.55, the combination of weak growth and negative share price momentum makes investors cautious. The company's strategy of buybacks over the past decade adds potential for enhancing earnings per share, but the overall outlook is tempered by external economic pressures.

BUY

The current low price may be an opportunity for investors to get in.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 21/09. Up 15%.) Still sees good upside. Trading at a very attractive multiple.

HOLD

Has had a terrific run for a large company. Bulk of huge tech spending has taken place for the next little while so would prefer a lower price of the $38 range. A good long-term hold

BUY

Valuation is cheaper than IBM (IBM-N). People are concerned because they have a little bit higher exposure to Europe.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 21/09. Up 14%.) Likes their positioning in computers, mobiles and desktops as well as their positioning in the printer space. Trading at 10.2X forward earnings. Still a buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 21/09. Up 31.3%.) Likes their positioning in PCs, printers and computer services. Recently acquired 3Com, which expands their position in the networking space. Still a Buy.

TOP PICK

Excellent, high quality tech stock. Loves printer business. Biggest risk is if there is a double dip – low probability.

SELL

A classic technology stock that ran up from October until the 2nd week of January and is now losing momentum. You are beyond the period of seasonal strength.

BUY

We are in a good cycle of upgrades in software. This is a well managed company. Like their purchase of ADT. Expect they will give IBM a run for their money.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 21/09. Up 30.06%.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 21/09. Up 24%.) Great company to own if you want exposure in the tech space. Margins are up.

COMMENT

From a technical perspective it is doing very well. Trading at 11X forward PE, which is not too bad. Beat estimates in the last quarter. Not his favourite in the tech space.

BUY

This is a name that she likes. Still hasn't seen a pickup in their printing business as yet.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 21/09. Up 9.22%.) Just reported good results. Acquired EDS last year and integration is ahead of schedule. Still sees a lot of upside margin improvement. Demand in the US and China has stabilized although some concerns in Europe.

TOP PICK

Leading player in PCs, both mobile and desktop. #1 in the printer and server business. #2 in IT services. Reasonably priced. Looking for a recovery in demand.
