HP Inc. experiences demand seasonality, with the fourth quarter typically being the highest due to back-to-school and holiday purchases. While the company expects its Personal Systems revenue in Q2 to perform better than typical seasonality due to strength in the commercial sector, overall gross margins and profitability are dependent on the product, service, customer, and geographic mix, which in turn depends on the overall demand. The company has observed continued market uncertainty and cautious commercial spending, which can impact demand.
