They just reported, up 15% this year so far. But the quarter was mixed though mostly beat expectations: sales were a tad light, earnings beat though, excellent cash flow, good operating margin and raised their full-year forecast.

Imaging and printing, personal computing, SaaS. Proceeds from SHOP and NVDA were used to buy this one. Reminds him of ORCL. Strong cashflows, mature business, stable market share, returning significant amounts back to shareholders, progress on efficiencies. Attractive PE in mid-teens. Price target of $39.50. Different from HPE stock. Yield is 3.59%.

(Analysts’ price target is $29.30)

No. The PC business is weak, though he likes the CEO.

They reported today a clean top and bottom-line beat with OK, not great numbers (cash flow was a little light and the printing business fell short), but offered better than expected guidance for the current quarter and raised their full-year forecast a lot. Margins came in higher than expected, though.

This struggle pre-Covid, but the new CEO turned it around. Covid lockdowns boosted PC sales. One wrinkle was the attempted Xerox merger. last November saw 9.3% revenue growth, 52% earnings growth and bullish earnings guidance for the next quarter and 2022 fiscal. HP is eying some acquisitions. Their PC sales will be durable. Also, HP has a big printing division, not just in consumer PCs. Trades at 8.5x 2022 earnings. Cheap.

He doesn't follow this closely, but it's in a strong sector. HP probably suffered an earnings decline recently. He owns Apple and Google instead--he'd rather bet on tech here. Nothing wrong with HP though, but it's not as strong as these two.

The problem with this company is that it is a slow growth business. In the tech world there are companies that grow much faster. There are better opportunities out there where you are not paying a huge multiple for them.

It's now selling at exactly FMV. Its balance sheet can't support a stock buyback. In fact, they should be issuing stock. There's no upside. He doesn't like it now.

This is the personal printing system division. The revenue is growing as is their market share. It trades at a cheap valuation that he thinks should double over time. The monthly ink cartridge purchasing plan is brilliant, he thinks. Yield 2.4%. (Analysts’ price target is $25.60)

One of the knocks against this has been its desktop bias. Has a good dividend yield and is understood to be a single digit grower with a more reasonable PE. If you like a reasonable and growing dividend, then this is not a bad idea. However, it is going to be a long road and he thinks you can do better.

A technology company that has gone through its cycles of having done very well, and not doing very well at different times in the cycle. The chart shows it has done extremely well so far this year, but is getting really close to resistance. Look for it to break through $18.80. We are not in the technology cycle right now, so this is a good thing. If it breaks through around $18.80 that would be a positive sign.

The printing business has amazing cash flow. Margins on colour ink cartridges are massive. This is trading at a ridiculous multiple, probably 6 or 7 times earnings. There is no question that there will be some revenue decline for the next couple of years. Thinks there will be a lot of shareholder value created here.

Chart does not look strong. You have to validate as many factors as you can to raise the odds of success, and he does this by using technicals. This company gets tripped out of his process by the technicals. A great company, but not a great stock right now. This company is not really strong in the higher growth segment. 4.25% dividend yield.

(A Top Pick Nov 4/14. Down 31.52%.) When he bought this, it was a single company, but now it is 2 companies. The other one is Hewlett-Packard Enterprises (HPE-N). Hasn’t yet seen a quarterly report, but will get one in February. Doesn’t think the market is fully appreciating either one of these companies. This one is selling for about 7X earnings. He remains very, very bullish.
