HPQ Fundamental Analysis
Revenue in the most recent quarter (Q1 2026) was $14.44 billion, showing a 6.92% year-over-year growth from the same quarter a year prior. However, profitability has contracted; the net income of $545 million and operating income of $759 million in Q1 2026 are lower than the $795 million and $1.08 billion, respectively, reported in the previous quarter (Q4 2025). The net margin for Q1 2026 was 3.77%, down from 5.43% in Q4 2025.
The company's financial health shows mixed signals. The debt-to-equity ratio is reported as -31.45, which is an unusual figure often resulting from negative shareholder equity, indicating a potentially leveraged balance sheet structure. The current ratio is 0.77, suggesting potential liquidity constraints. On a positive note, free cash flow over the trailing twelve months is a strong $2.88 billion.
Operational efficiency metrics are concerning. The return on equity (ROE) is deeply negative at -7.31%, while return on assets (ROA) is a modest 5.62%. The negative ROE, coupled with the unusual debt-to-equity ratio, points to significant challenges in generating returns for shareholders based on the provided equity figure.

Valuation Analysis: Is HPQ Overvalued?
Given that the company has positive net income, the primary valuation metric used is the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio. The trailing P/E ratio is 10.35, while the forward P/E is lower at 6.46, based on estimated future earnings. The Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio is 0.47, and the Enterprise Value-to-Sales (EV/Sales) is 0.45, both suggesting a relatively low valuation based on revenue.
Peer comparison data is not available in the provided inputs. The low P/E and P/S ratios, combined with a dividend yield of 4.16%, suggest the market is pricing the stock at a discount, likely reflecting concerns about its profitability trends and the challenging cyclical nature of the PC and printing hardware markets.
