HP Inc. (HPQ) Shares Drop 11%HP Inc. (HPQ) Shares Drop 11%
HP Inc. (HPQ) shares plummeted 11% following the release of its quarterly earnings report:
→ Earnings per share (EPS): Actual = $0.93, Expected = $0.93
→ Revenue: Actual = $14.05 billion, Expected = $13.09 billion
While HP Inc.'s reported revenue and EPS aligned closely with analysts’ expectations, the market was disappointed by its forward guidance. According to FactSet, the company forecast EPS for the next quarter at $0.73, falling short of the $0.85 expected by analysts.
As a result, HPQ shares dropped below $35 for the first time since October 1. Is now the time to buy shares in this leading provider of PCs and high-tech products?
Analysts remain cautious, according to TipRanks:
→ Only 3 out of 15 analysts recommend buying HPQ shares.
→ The average 12-month price target for HPQ stands at $36, though post-earnings revisions may lower these estimates.
Technical Analysis of HPQ Shares:
→ The stock is trading within an upward channel (indicated in blue), and the long lower shadow on yesterday’s candle suggests strong demand near the channel’s lower boundary.
→ The $39 level has acted as resistance for the second time this year (highlighted by arrows) and is likely to remain significant.
→ The ATR indicator signals a notable spike in volatility.
Given the sharp price movement, it is reasonable to anticipate another period of price consolidation on the HPQ chart, similar to the pattern observed during the summer (highlighted by the orange triangle).

HPQ
Riding the Bullish Wave: HPQ Eyes $41.53 Long Term TargetHP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) is showing promising signals for a short-term upside, despite recent volatility in the tech sector. According to recent reports, the stock outperformed its competitors on a strong trading day, yet faces ongoing risks to a PC market rebound, as highlighted by warnings from Citigroup. However, our Quantum Probability indicator, W.ARITAs, coupled with technical patterns, points to a solid trading opportunity.
Technical Outlook: Bullish Patterns Indicate Upside
Our analysis has identified two powerful overlapping bullish patterns in HPQ stock: the Bullish Harmonic Pattern - BAT and the Bullish Flag, both signaling potential upward movement. The stock has faced considerable pressure around the critical zone of $36.08, where we saw three retests, each validating the support level. Following these retests, we have now confirmed a breakout above this critical zone.
The ideal entry price for investors looking to capitalize on this momentum is $36.09 . We are placing a stop loss at $34.18, protecting against potential downside, while the take-profit target is set at $41.53 , based on key resistance levels. This offers a strong risk-reward ratio of 2.89, making it a compelling short-term trade.
Conclusion: High Potential Short-Term Opportunity
While HPQ has faced challenges in the broader tech market, including concerns about the PC market rebound, the stock’s technical setup presents a positive outlook for short-term gains. Investors seeking to enter at $37.09 with a stop loss of $34.18 and target price of $41.53 stand to benefit from a bullish breakout and a favorable risk-reward scenario.

DELL moves higher in continuation LONGDELL on the weekly chart shows its bullish trend which accelerated this past March as shown
on the Prive Volume Trend. The relative volume indicator shows some spiking blue volume
bars of buying volume = 3 of the 13 weeks in the past quarter. I see this as a long swing trade
or even an investment to hold at an easy to get into price compared with SMCI. DELL may be
a bit overbought and overextended but I am convinced it is for good reasons and that a trade
here will pay profit over time. The dip of 5% in the past trading day provides a good entry.
HP Surge 12.53% On Q2 Revenue Beat HP Inc. ( NYSE:HPQ ) beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue, signaling a recovery in the personal computer (PC) market as customers upgrade their systems. HP experienced a boom in sales during the pandemic and a subsequent two-year sales slump, which is now easing. The company is hoping to ride a wave of upgrades after Microsoft unveiled new AI features designed to work on a new generation of PCs. HP posted second-quarter revenue of $12.8 billion, above analysts' average estimate of $12.6 billion.
In the reported quarter, sales of HP's personal systems segment, home to its desktop and notebook PCs, rose 3% from a year ago, while its printing segment posted an 8% fall. The company now expects fiscal 2024 adjusted profit to be in the range of $3.30 to $3.60 per share, compared with its previous outlook of between $3.25 and $3.65 per share. The midpoint of the full-year range was $3.45, above analyst estimates of $3.43.
HP Inc.'s Personal Systems unit, which houses its key desktop and note PC products, jumped by 3.1% to $8.43 billion, surpassing estimates of $8.28 billion. This result also helped offset weakness at its Printing segment that analysts at Goldman Sachs linked to a soft Chinese market and increased competition.
Chief Executive Enrique Lores said that as the market recovers and new AI PCs are introduced, HP is well positioned to drive profitable growth across its business. Goldman Sachs analysts predicted that AI PCs will likely not be a "material contributor" to HP Inc's full-year 2024 returns, but they are set to drive a "5-10 percentage point" uptick in average selling prices "over time."
Technically, NYSE:HPQ is overbought with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 85.61. The stock is up 12.62% as of the time of writing. NYSE:HPQ is trading above the 200, 100 and 50- day Moving Averages (MA) respectively.
HP to $60Overview
This is a very brief price prediction for HP that will require further review, however, I found the opportunity too affordable to pass up and wanted to share my thoughts. Bottom line: the call options are very cheap and HPQ's chart screams potential for a lucrative trade.
Trading Pattern
HP ( NYSE:HPQ ) has formed a bullish flag on the 1D chart and it appears close to breaking out as the descending wedge is completely developed.
Technical Indicators
MFI is approaching oversold territory while MACD has a sharp positive slope above its signal line.
HP(NYSE: HPQ) Reported Fourth-Quarter Fiscal 2023HP Inc. HPQ reported better-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
HP reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 non-GAAP earnings of 90 cents per share, which surpassed the consensus mark by a penny and came within management’s previously guided range of 85-97 cents. Moreover, the bottom line improved 10% on a year-over-year basis, mainly driven by lower commodity and logistics expenses and efficient cost management, partially offset by a reduction in revenues and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
HP’s net revenues of $13.8 billion came in higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $13.68 billion but declined 6.5% year over year. In constant currency (cc), revenues declined 5% in the fourth quarter. The dismal top line reflected a weak performance in HPQ’s Personal Systems (“PS”) and Printers segments.
Guidance
HP initiated guidance for the first quarter while reiterating the fiscal 2024 outlook. For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the company estimates non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) between 76 cents and 86 cents (midpoint 81 cents). The midpoint of the first-quarter earnings guidance fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents.
For fiscal 2024, the company continues to project non-GAAP EPS between $3.25 and $3.65 (midpoint $3.45). The midpoint of the fiscal 2024 earnings guidance range is in line with the consensus mark. HPQ also reaffirmed its free cash flow guidance of $3.1-$3.6 billion for fiscal 2024.
Price Momentum
HPQ is trading in the middle of its 52-week range and near its 200-day simple moving average.
What does this mean?
Investors are still evaluating the share price, and the stock is still trying to generate some momentum. This is a Positive sign for the stock's future value.
Shares of HPQ Fall Sharply after Report → Revenue decreased by 10% to USD 13.2 billion compared to USD 14.65 billion a year ago. This was the third quarter in a row that HP fell short of analysts' estimates.
→ “While we expect another quarter of sequential growth in Q4, the external environment has not improved as quickly as anticipated and we are moderating our expectations as a result,” said HP CEO Enrique Lores.
→ Earnings per share was 86 cents (in line with forecasts), and the company estimates earnings for the next quarter could be between 85 cents and 97 cents.
As a result, at yesterday's low, the fall in the share price of HP Inc. exceeded 10%. Can the fall continue?
An analysis of the HPQ stock chart makes a strong bullish case:
→ HPQ price closed at the high of the day;
→ the price has found support from the lower boundary of the parallel channel;
→ the price fell below the support at 28.90, but closed above. This may mean that the increased volatility and activation of stop-losses located below the obvious support could be used by large players to accumulate long-term long positions at low prices, which were formed for a short period after the fundamental event.
By the way, according to Lores, the availability of artificial intelligence products at the end of 2024 should refresh consumer and commercial sales.
