HPE 1Q Sales Rise on Networking Growth Despite Cloud and AI Decline

Dow Jones

Mar 10

By Katherine Hamilton

Hewlett Packard Enterprise had a mixed first quarter, as a jump in networking revenue offset a slowdown in cloud and AI sales.

The server and cloud-software company on Monday posted a $423 million, or 31 cents a share, in the quarter ended Jan. 31, compared with $598 million, or 44 cents a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted per-share earnings were 65 cents, ahead of the 59 cents anticipated by analysts, according to FactSet.

Revenue rose 18% to $9.30 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast revenue of $9.35 billion.

Networking sales nearly tripled to $2.7 billion, driven in part by a five-fold increase in data center networking revenue.

Cloud and AI revenue fell 2.7% to $6.3 billion, mainly due to a decline in server sales.

HPE reaffirmed its overall revenue growth outlook for 2026, and raised its outlook for networking revenue to grow 68% to 73%.

It also increased its outlook for earnings per share, with adjusted earnings now expected to be $2.30 a share to $2.50 a share, up by 5 cents from prior guidance.

In the second quarter, HPE expects revenue to be $9.6 billion to $10.0 billion, with adjusted earnings per share of 51 cents to 55 cents. Analysts polled by FactSet were projecting $9.57 billion in sales and 53 cents a share in adjusted earnings.
