The single biggest force behind the quarter was the Juniper Networks integration, which supercharged the Networking segment to $2.69 billion in revenue, up 148.2% year-over-year, with routing alone going from near-zero contribution to $775 million. Cloud and AI infrastructure also carried weight, with Server revenue climbing 32.7% to $5.45 billion and non-GAAP operating margins expanding to 13.3% from 8.0% a year ago. Free cash flow reached $915 million for the quarter. Looking ahead, HPE raised its full-year FY26 non-GAAP EPS guidance to $3.35 to $3.45 and now expects free cash flow of at least $3.50 billion, figures the company had originally targeted for FY28, while Q3 revenue guidance of $11.50 billion to $12.10 billion points to continued momentum.
