On September 2, Hewlett Packard Enterprise fell 4.84% in after-hours trading to $48.97 per share, with turnover of approximately $105 million, reversing a 3%-plus intraday gain ahead of earnings.
The company reported fiscal Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.11, beating the consensus estimate of $0.93 by 19% and surging 152% year-over-year. Revenue came in at $12.213 billion, topping the $11.908 billion estimate. Full-year adjusted EPS guidance was raised to $3.75-$3.85, well above both the prior range of $3.35-$3.45 and the Street consensus of $3.44. AI systems revenue was a standout, with BofA Securities having projected a jump to $2 billion from $900 million in the prior quarter.
Despite the strong results, the stock declined after HPE disclosed a multi-year global partnership with Oracle to deploy AI infrastructure using Juniper networking solutions. As part of the agreement, HPE issued warrants to Oracle granting the right to purchase HPE common stock, raising investor concerns over potential share dilution that overshadowed the earnings beat.
