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

Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ) is currently perceived as deeply undervalued; however, there are growing concerns about it potentially being a value trap due to limited growth prospects and rising leverage. Experts note that the company is grappling with margin pressure caused by increasing input costs such as memory, which could impact profitability. Despite these challenges, HP has a robust dividend policy with a payout ratio of only 33%, making the yield appealing at 6.21%. The iconic brand commands a significant market share, and although the business may not experience explosive growth, there are opportunities for margin enhancement that could provide financial upside. Analysts have set a price target of $24.55 for the stock, highlighting potential upside alongside caution regarding market dynamics.

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.
