Executive summary

Hewlett Packard Enterprise supplies technology infrastructure to businesses and governments. Its portfolio covers servers, data storage, networking, including the Aruba wireless line, and high-performance computing, offered alongside HPE GreenLake, a subscription-style cloud service model. Customers include enterprises, public sector bodies, service providers and research institutions. It also runs a financing arm, and it was formed when Hewlett-Packard split into two companies.

HPE earns revenue from hardware, software and services, together with recurring income from as-a-service subscriptions and its financing business. Revenue is $41.9 billion over the last twelve months, with growth of 6.4% a year across three years. The operating margin is 6.2%, and the business earns a profit of 6% on the capital invested in it. It carries net debt of 2.2 times EBITDA, and the dividend yield is 1.0%.

StocksXray gives Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co an X-Ray Score of 45 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 33% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (67) and its weakest is profitability (30).

Our fair value (the average of the valid models) is $61.93 (range $56.34 to $63.04). At $55.47 the stock trades 10% below that value, so the label is "Fair" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value is the average of up to 15 valuation models, most of them anchored to the company's own multiples, so it stays near the price and should be read as a range, not a point. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
