Executive summary

Hewlett Packard Enterprise supplies technology infrastructure to businesses and governments. Its portfolio covers servers, data storage, networking, including the Aruba wireless line, and high-performance computing, offered alongside HPE GreenLake, a subscription-style cloud service model. Customers include enterprises, public sector bodies, service providers and research institutions. It also runs a financing arm, and it was formed when Hewlett-Packard split into two companies.

HPE earns revenue from hardware, software and services, together with recurring income from as-a-service subscriptions and its financing business. Revenue is $41.9 billion over the last twelve months, with growth of 6.4% a year across three years. The operating margin is 6.2%, and the business earns a profit of 6% on the capital invested in it. It carries net debt of 2.2 times EBITDA, and the dividend yield is 1.0%.

StocksXray gives Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co an X-Ray Score of 39 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 16% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is dividends (56) and its weakest is profitability (30).

Our fair value blend is $24.72 (range $23.71 to $25.72). At $55.13 the stock trades 123% above that blend, so the label is "Overvalued" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
