Delivered a strong fiscal second quarter, posting non-GAAP EPS of $0.86 against a consensus estimate of $0.72, a beat of more than 20%, while revenue of $14.41 billion grew 9.0% year over year and topped expectations by 2.40%. The standout driver was a resurgent Personal Systems segment, which generated $10.21 billion in revenue, up 13% year over year, as commercial PC demand accelerated sharply, with average selling prices climbing even as total unit volumes declined, a dynamic consistent with growing AI PC and premium workstation adoption that investors had been watching closely heading into the report. Printing held steady at $4.20 billion, though margin pressure there was modest. Free cash flow swung to $800 million from negative $100 million in the year-ago quarter, underscoring improved operational execution. Looking ahead, HP raised its full-year fiscal 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to $2.90 to $3.10 and guided free cash flow to $2.80 to $3.00 billion, signaling management's confidence that AI-driven product mix upgrades can continue to offset cost headwinds in a complex trade environment.
Key Takeaways
- • Personal Systems revenue up 13% YoY driven by Commercial PS growth of 14%
- • Non-GAAP diluted EPS up 21% YoY to $0.86
- • Free cash flow improved to $0.8 billion from negative $0.1 billion in prior-year period
- • Revenue growth of 9% (6.3% in constant currency)
- • Personal Systems operating margin expanded to 5.2% from 4.5% YoY
