DEMANDING

53

out of 100

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co earns a fundamental-quality score of 53 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 2.3× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +7.9%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Hewlett Packard Enterprise sells enterprise IT infrastructure: servers (AI ones included), networking (Aruba, plus Juniper after the acquisition) and storage. The boring half of the old HP empire, seeking its place in the cloud era.

What will shape its future

  • AI server orders: shiny volume, thin margin.
  • Integrating Juniper and networking's growing weight, where the margin lives.
  • Competition from Dell and the public cloud, eroding traditional IT.
