Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE)

In the past six months, HPE's stock price has experienced fluctuations. As of July 21, 2025, the closing share price was $20.66, down 2.13% from the previous day. Over the past 30 days, HPE's stock was up 16%, but it was down 1.74% year-to-date. In the last three months, HPE fell short of the market, returning -25.1%. Analyst coverage included Wolfe Research initiating coverage with a "Peer Perform" recommendation, Keybanc initiating coverage with a "Sector Weight" recommendation, Evercore ISI Group upgrading their outlook for HPE from "In-Line" to "Outperform", and JPMorgan upgrading HPE to "Overweight" with a price target of $30. HPE completed its acquisition of Juniper Networks, a move expected to accelerate HPE's edge-to-cloud strategy with AI-enabled innovation. HPE partnered with Commvault to address cyber threats and data loss and introduced the HPE NonStop Compute NS5 X5 and NS9 X5. HPE collaborated with Ericsson to deploy fintech cloud services on HPE GreenLake. HPE reported strong profitability and scaling recurring revenue in Q1 fiscal year 2024, despite market headwinds, but noted that customers were taking longer to digest prior orders, and weakness in the networking market was expected to persist.

HPE experiences some seasonal trends in the sale of its products and services, with European sales often weaker during the summer months. Distributors may adjust their orders based on product supply, competitor products, and seasonal fluctuations in end-user demand. The company's reliance on indirect distribution methods can reduce its visibility into demand and pricing trends, making forecasting more challenging. The deployment of Ericsson Wallet Platform with HPE GreenLake is designed to adapt to seasonal variations in transaction traffic. HPE also anticipates some improvement in the networking market in late fiscal 2024 as inventory clears and customers like U.S. state and local education buyers enter their IT purchasing season.
