Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) disclosed its first-quarter results and softer-than-expected guidance, highlighting challenges in its networking sector.
For Q1, HPE reported an adjusted EPS of $0.48 on revenues of $6.76 billion, compared to the anticipated $0.45 EPS and $7.10 billion revenue. The revenue shortfall is attributed to a weakening networking market and the timing of GPU deals.
For Q2, HPE anticipates adjusted earnings per share (EPS) between $0.36 and $0.41, with revenue estimates ranging from $6.6 billion to $7.0 billion. This projection falls below Wall Street’s expectations of $0.45 EPS on $7.13 billion in revenue.
Looking into fiscal 2024, HPE projects an EPS between $1.82 and $1.92, with expected revenue growth ranging from flat to a 2% increase.
