Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ-N) has recently made headlines due to its unveiling of a new line of AI PCs and its subsequent earnings report. While some experts highlight that the AI PC launch has been disappointing and unlikely to show significant impact until 2025, others are more optimistic, noting that the stock's valuation appears attractive at its current price of $17, especially compared to Dell's higher trading multiples. Some analysts have observed a positive response in the market following the latest earnings beat, with shares appreciating 20-30% in recent weeks. However, there is a consensus that the true potential of the new AI PCs may not be realized until the latter half of 2024, leading to mixed sentiments regarding the stock's immediate future. Overall, HP's performance appears to hinge on the forthcoming trends in AI integration and PC market cycles.

The AI PC has disappointed--he expected it to mean more and doesn't expect it to. There are better stocks out there, despite a low 9x PE and 3.64% dividend. Shares are -8% the past month. Nothing will move the needle here.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They surprised people with that offering, but shares are cheap now at $17.

TOP PICK

HP trades at 11.83x compared to Dell’s 28x. It also pays a 3.18% dividend vs. Dell’s 1.28%. Though the two companies make up half the market’s PC sales, HP says its new line of AI PC’s won’t make a dent in their earnings until the second half of 2024 and particularly 2025. The company’s Q2 total revenue for was $12.8 billion, down slightly from last year's $12.91 billion, but better than the $12.59 billion the street expected.

BUY

They lead the coming new cycle in PCS, driven by AI. HP unveiled its line of AI PCs 3 weeks ago, then reported a great quarter. Shares are up 20% in the past month.

BUY

Yesterday, they reported a fantastic quarter, making it clear that the build-out of data centres is not done and in fact are in the early innings of AI.

BUY

HP jumped 30% in May after unveiling a new line of AI PCs--and there's a PC refresh cycle coming fueled by AI. HP could be the first. Also, HP delivered an earnings beat last week.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's not Dell. But they have the new AI PC. Should do well next quarter, not this one.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 22/23, Up 6%)

Pivoting into the networking space. Buying Juniper Networks. Own it here, south of $28, and just below $27.

BUY

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.

TOP PICK

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)
DON'T BUY
No. The PC business is weak, though he likes the CEO.
BUY
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.
BUY
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.
COMMENT
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.
DON'T BUY

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.
