On September 2, Hewlett Packard Enterprise rose 4.58% in after-hours trading, trading at $53.40/share, with turnover of $26.26 million. The after-hours rally came immediately following the company's scheduled fiscal Q3 earnings release, as robust AI-driven demand validated bullish market expectations.
Ahead of the report, BofA Securities had projected fiscal Q3 revenue of $12.3 billion and earnings per share of $0.95, both exceeding Street consensus estimates of $12 billion and $0.93, respectively. Notably, AI systems revenue, excluding Networking, was projected to surge to $2 billion from $900 million in the prior quarter. BofA also anticipated the company would raise the low end of its fiscal 2026 revenue growth guidance and increase EPS guidance by approximately $0.05. The firm highlighted strength in storage and industry-standard servers, though supply constraints remained a factor. The after-hours rebound also follows a 3.06% decline in the prior session, when the broader hardware sector sold off ahead of earnings, with peers Dell, Seagate, and Western Digital all declining. Multiple analysts maintain overweight ratings, with JPMorgan targeting $70, Goldman Sachs at $75, and Citigroup at $74.
