Texas-based Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., one of the world’s largest producers of computing equipment, announced its fourth-quarter financial results today and offered a positive sales outlook for 2026.
In Q25, HPE reported revenue of $49.7 billion, a 14% increase from the previous year.
For Q1 26, HPE estimates revenue to fall between $9 billion and $9.4 billion.
Antonio Neri, president and CEO of HPE, told investors, “HPE finished a transformative year with a strong fourth quarter of profitable growth and disciplined execution. During the year, we completed the Juniper Networks acquisition, further scaled our AI and Cloud businesses, and accelerated innovation across our portfolio, giving HPE momentum to advance our strategic priorities in fiscal 2026.”
Marie Myers, EVP and CFO of HPE, stated, “HPE continued to drive operational discipline in Q4, resulting in record gross profit and robust non-GAAP operating profit as well as free cash flow generation that exceeded our outlook.”
Moving forward, Myers said, “Our focus on disciplined spending, portfolio simplification, and ongoing structural cost management initiatives gives us the confidence to raise our FY26 diluted net earnings per share guidance and the midpoint of our FY26 free cash flow guidance.”
For fiscal year 2026, HPE reaffirms its FY26 revenue outlook range of 17% to 22%, projecting non-GAAP operating profit growth of 32% to 40%, and GAAP operating profit growth of 455% to 520%.
The company is also raising the midpoint of its free cash flow guidance, now expected to be between $1.7 billion and $2 billion.
HPE shares fell as much as 9.3% in premarket trading on Friday but recovered to be 3% higher after its earnings release.
The stock has risen by 6.7% so far this year.
