Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company Price and EPS Surprise
Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s fiscal fourth-quarter results are expected to have benefited from the recovery of the demand environment driven by artificial intelligence (AI). HPE’s AI-based networking portfolio is likely to have driven its Intelligent Edge services in both campus and branch segments.
For HPE, artificial intelligence has proven to be an elixir. In the fiscal fourth quarter, HPE’s AI systems and sovereign AI cloud offerings are likely to have been driven by strong demand by the customers. HPE’s top line is likely to have been driven by demand in HPE Private Cloud AI.
The demand for Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s AI Server is anticipated to have remained strong during the fiscal fourth quarter. Moreover, strength in HPE’s as-a-service platform and contributions from high-performance computing & modular cooling systems are likely to have added to its growth. Large scale AI customers are likely to have driven demand for HPE’s direct liquid cooling solutions.
The increasing adoption of the Aruba Edge Services Platform and HPE GreenLake are expected to have driven Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. The HPE GreenLake solution is likely to have benefited from the company’s effort to simplify its cloud strategy by including all related products in the hybrid cloud segment. This initiative is expected to have simplified the customer adoption of the solution and added to the top line.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has been benefiting from persistent growth in sales of its accelerator processing unit, primarily driven by rising demand of HPE Cray EX, Cray XT and HPE ProLiant Gen11 AI-optimized servers.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s gross margin is likely to have improved during the quarter, driven by a strong pricing discipline, the benefits of an improving supply chain, a positive mix shift to high-margin software-rich businesses, cost takeouts and automation.
