In other recent news, HP, Inc. has faced several adjustments to its financial outlook and stock price targets from various analyst firms. HP’s recent earnings report revealed challenges, including increased tariff costs and a slump in demand, prompting analysts at UBS, Morgan Stanley, and Citi to lower their price targets to $26.00, $26.00, and $27.50, respectively. Despite a solid revenue quarter, HP’s earnings per share (EPS) missed expectations, leading to a downward revision of its fiscal year 2025 EPS guidance by several firms, including Evercore ISI, which set a new target of $29.00.

HP’s management has revised its fiscal year 2025 EPS outlook to a range of $3.00 to $3.30, and has lowered its free cash flow guidance by approximately $600 million. Analysts from TD Cowen noted that HP has decreased its EPS and free cash flow midpoints by 13% and 18%, respectively, due to increased costs and macroeconomic pressures. The company’s strategic moves, such as relocating PC production away from China and implementing cost restructuring, aim to mitigate these challenges.

Evercore ISI maintained an Outperform rating, highlighting HP’s efforts to stabilize EPS and free cash flow through cost savings and tariff mitigation strategies. Meanwhile, Citi and Morgan Stanley have sustained neutral ratings, reflecting skepticism about immediate growth catalysts. Despite these challenges, HP’s Personal Systems segment showed some growth, with an 8% year-over-year increase, attributed to strong demand in the commercial sector.
