Hewlett Packard Enterprise stock keeps Moderate Buy after earnings beat

Hewlett Packard Enterprise stock remains covered by a Moderate Buy consensus after the company exceeded quarterly earnings and revenue expectations. MarketBeat reported on Wednesday, November 11, that 20 research firms covering HPE included 10 Buy ratings, two Strong Buy ratings and eight Hold ratings.

The average 12-month price target stood at 65.44 US dollars. Recent analyst actions showed a wide range of views: Barclays cut its rating to Equal Weight and lowered its target to 77 US dollars, while Raymond James, Evercore and Goldman Sachs raised their targets. MarketBeat linked the differing views to the balance between AI infrastructure demand, networking growth and the pace of enterprise spending.

Quarterly beat supports the outlook

HPE reported earnings per share of 1.11 US dollars for its latest quarter, above the 0.93 US dollar consensus cited by MarketBeat. Revenue reached 12.21 billion US dollars, compared with an expected 11.97 billion US dollars and 33.7 percent above the year-earlier period. Earnings per share in the prior-year quarter were 0.44 US dollars.

Management's current outlook calls for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings per share of 1.20 to 1.30 US dollars and fiscal 2026 earnings per share of 3.75 to 3.85 US dollars. The company operates across servers, storage, networking, hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence, while GreenLake provides consumption-based cloud and IT services.

HPE stock traded at 44.01 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 13:36 CET on Thursday, November 12, 2026. The quote provides a current trading reference, while the next earnings update will determine whether the company can deliver on its fiscal fourth-quarter range.
