On September 15, Hewlett Packard Enterprise rose 3.12% in regular trading, trading at $57.20/share, with turnover of $55.24 million. The stock staged a rebound from depressed levels after a series of sharp selloffs driven by multiple headwinds earlier this week.
On the news front, Evercore ISI downgraded Hewlett Packard Enterprise from Outperform to In Line, triggering a single-day plunge of nearly 11% to $55.41. The downgrade compounded prior negatives including three major AI giants calling for a slowdown in AI model development, which pressured the broader cloud and AI infrastructure sector, alongside CEO Antonio F. Neri's Form 144 filing to sell 750,000 shares valued at approximately $41.4 million. Wells Fargo also slashed its target price from $67 to $54.
However, the company's Q3 earnings significantly exceeded expectations, with revenue of $12.2 billion representing 34% year-over-year growth, adjusted EPS of $1.11 beating the $0.93 consensus by 19%, and a 152% EPS increase year-over-year. Management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $3.75-$3.85, well above the FactSet estimate of $3.44, while the stock's PEG ratio stood at just 0.51, suggesting the rebound was driven by value recognition following the steep decline.
