Change in closing price from the first day shown, or with Price the closing price itself. Prices: Yahoo Finance, to Nov 12, 2026. Dashed lines: the days the company released earnings (its SEC 8-K filings); EPS estimates: Yahoo Finance. The stock's move after a release runs from the last close before its day to the close the day after (or five days after), so a release before the open counts like one after the close.

Targets, ratings and earnings estimates: Yahoo Finance. Rating and target changes: Yahoo Finance's list of upgrades and downgrades. The average target on each day is the average of every listed firm's latest target set in the 180 days before it, so it counts fewer analysts than the average target above, and the band is the middle half of those targets (a quarter of the firms are above it, a quarter below); a target set before a stock split is divided by the split. Expected figures: the average of the analysts' estimates (Yahoo Finance). Their EPS is adjusted, as analysts estimate it, so it is set against the adjusted EPS Yahoo reports for the same quarters, not the GAAP EPS of the growth and valuation sections; revenue against the SEC filings. No change is given against a quarter whose reported EPS was more than 50% off its own estimate (often a one-off gain or charge), nor against a year that counts one. Each estimate is pinned to its fiscal period by the report date or the period's end, and one that cannot be is left out.

Financial health

Current ratio 1.0, short-term debt is manageable; debt-to-equity 0.9, debt is moderate.

Current ratio
1.0Fair liquidity

Assets that can be turned into cash soon are 1.0x what is owed within a year. 1.5 or higher is comfortable; below 1 needs watching.

Debt-to-equity
0.9Moderate debt

For every $1 of shareholder funds, there is $0.9 of debt (leases not counted). The higher the number, the more pressure when the economy weakens.

Net debt
$16.6BMore debt than cash

Cash and short-term investments of $5.8B against debt of $22.4B. Lease obligations of $1.7B are not counted: they are rent owed, not money borrowed. It also holds $955M of long-term investments, which can be stakes in other companies rather than cash.

From the 13F filings of the 83 funds Hunch tracks, not of every institution: each fund's shares of HPE at its latest quarter end against the quarter before, as filed (long positions only, options left out), the quarter before put on the latest quarter's share count across a split. A fund files 45 days after its quarter ends, so some have a newer quarter than others. Value is at the quarter end. Norges Bank filed its 13F for Q1 2026 confidentially, with no holdings made public, so its row compares Q2 2026 with Q4 2025.

From the Form 4s filed with the SEC about Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (92 in the 12 months): purchases (code P) and sales (code S) on the open market by its officers and directors, at the price each filing gives (often an average of the day's trades). A sale is a 10b5-1 sale when its filing says it was made under such a plan, set up in advance. Not counted: 121 other transactions (grants, option exercises, shares withheld for tax and gifts).
