HP Inc. (US40434L1052) has its next earnings update penciled in for late July, a key date for investors in the US-listed technology group on the NYSE.HP traditionally reports fiscal third-quarter figures in the last week of July, with the prior year’s Q3 release falling on August 29, 2024, per company filings.

What analysts expect now

Consensus data compiled by MarketScreener show a cautious but stable view on HP shares, with the majority of analysts rating the stock Hold and a smaller group on Buy.Average 12-month price targets cluster modestly above the current share price, indicating only limited upside potential under the current assumptions.

Recent notes from large US houses focus on pressure in the traditional PC and printer segments and the timing of an AI-related refresh cycle for corporate laptops.Some research also highlights HP’s capital-return policy via dividends and buybacks as a stabilizing element for the equity story.

Positioning in the tech peer group

In the broader S&P 500 technology and hardware peer set, HP competes with groups such as Dell Technologies and Lenovo in PCs and with Canon and Epson in printing equipment.The company’s share performance over the past 12 months has been more muted than high-growth AI infrastructure names, reflecting its stronger exposure to mature hardware categories.

Broker commentary in recent weeks has pointed to differentiated valuation levels across the hardware space, with HP trading at a lower earnings multiple than many pure-play cloud or semiconductor stocks.For some investors this multiple gap is central to the investment thesis, alongside cash generation and shareholder returns.

The products behind the stock

HP Inc. generates most of its revenue from personal systems and printing, with flagship products including HP Spectre laptops and HP OfficeJet Pro printers.In the PC segment the group sells consumer and business notebooks, desktops and workstations, while printing covers home and office devices, supplies and related services.

Where the shares trade today

The HP Inc. shares (US40434L1052) trade on the NYSE at around 22.90 US dollars as of 2026-06-26, 08:30, based on recent quote data.
