Executive summary

HP sells personal computers, printers and related supplies to consumers, businesses and public bodies around the world. Its personal systems unit covers laptops, desktops and workstations, while the printing unit sells printers and recurring ink, toner and service revenue. The company makes money through hardware sales through retailers, distributors and direct channels, and through subscription and supply sales that continue after a printer has been bought.

Sales totalled $59.2 billion over the last twelve months, and the three-year record shows a decline of 4.2% a year. The operating margin is 5.4%, and the return on invested capital is 58%. The balance sheet shows net debt to EBITDA of 1.2 times. Shareholders receive a dividend, currently yielding 4.0%. Taken together, these numbers give a factual snapshot of the business.

StocksXray gives Hp Inc an X-Ray Score of 53 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 55% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (98) and its weakest is growth (19).

Our fair value blend is $73.88 (range $71.79 to $76.12). At $30.01 the stock trades 59% below that blend, so the label is "Undervalued" with medium 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.
