Did HPE Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Hewlett Packard Enterprise delivered a stronger-than-expected fiscal second quarter, posting non-GAAP EPS of $0.38 against a consensus estimate of $0.33, a beat of 16.31%, while revenue of $7.63 billion topped forecasts by 1.73% and grew 6.2% year-over-year, driven by broad-based momentum across all three product segments. The standout catalyst was the company's AI and cloud infrastructure push, with Hybrid Cloud emerging as the fastest-growing segment at 13% revenue growth and HPE's annualized revenue run-rate surging 46% year-over-year to $2.20 billion, signals that its <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/04/15/3-reasons-hewlett-packard-stock-is-a-buy/">enterprise AI strategy</a> is gaining commercial traction. The quarter was clouded, however, by a $1.36 billion non-cash goodwill impairment charge tied to the Hybrid Cloud unit, swinging GAAP EPS to a loss of $0.82. Looking ahead, HPE guided Q3 revenue of $8.20 billion to $8.50 billion with non-GAAP EPS of $0.40 to $0.45, and maintained its full-year outlook for 7% to 9% constant-currency revenue growth and free cash flow of approximately $1.00 billion.
