For the fourth quarter, Hewlett Packard projects non-GAAP earnings per share between 48 cents and 52 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 50 cents, indicating a year-over-year decline of 12.28%.
HPE expects fourth-quarter revenues between $7.2 billion and $7.5 billion. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues is pegged at $7.35 billion, suggesting a decrease of 6.7% from the year-ago period.
The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the preceding four quarters while matching the same on one occasion, the average surprise being 9.6%.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company Price and EPS Surprise
Hewlett Packard’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strong momentum in the as-a-service platform and significant contributions from growth businesses, such as high-performance computing & modular cooling systems and Intelligent Edge. Notably, HPE’s total as-a-service order value crossed the $10 billion mark in second-quarter fiscal 2023, while the company shifted its business to a high-margin software-intensive as-a-service offering.
Our estimate for Hewlett Packard’s fourth-quarter revenues in its High-Performance Computing & Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Edge segments is pegged at $859.8 million and $1.36 billion, respectively.
Accelerated digital transformation and higher demand for cloud networking due to the continuous hybrid working trend are likely to have contributed to the fourth-quarter top line. The solid adoption of the Aruba Edge Services Platform, which provides edge-to-cloud connectivity as a service, and its cloud services arm, HPE GreenLake, might have driven the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues. In the third-quarter earnings report, it was highlighted that GreenLake saw a remarkable 122% year-over-year increase in orders.
Our estimate for fourth-quarter revenues in HPE’s Compute and Storage segments is pegged at $2.97 billion and $1.11 billion, respectively.
Hewlett Packard’s gross margin is likely to have improved during the quarter, driven by a strong pricing discipline that is likely to have somewhat mitigated logistic costs, the benefits of an improving supply-chain base, a positive mix shift to high-margin software-rich businesses, cost takeouts and automation.
However, HPE expects to continue facing higher commodity costs and foreign-exchange headwinds for the next few quarters. These factors are likely to have negatively impacted its sales growth and profitability in the quarter under review.
