The company foresees another year of softer sales and is contemplating measures such as workforce reduction and cost-cutting across the business to enhance profitability. The company closed 24 stores in FY24, and it plans to close 10-25 stores in FY25. We might see an upside in demand for electronics in 2H24 when interest rates are expected to be lower.

- 1Q24 Revenue: $6.76B, -13.4% YoY, miss estimates by $340M
- 1Q24 Non-GAAP EPS: $0.48, beat estimates by $0.03
- 2Q24 Guidance: Expect revenue to be in the range of $6.6bn to $7.0bn, GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.25 and non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.36 to $0.41.

GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $1.81 and $1.91 and non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $1.82 and $1.92. Non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude net after-tax adjustments of approximately $0.01 per diluted share.
- Comment: Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported a 13.5% decline in first-quarter revenue to US$6.76bn, missing estimates. Its CFO attributed the decline to the softening networking market and GPU deal timing. However, on an adjusted basis, HPE reported US$0.48 per share, above estimates of US$0.45 per share. The company’s annualized revenue run-rate increased by 42% to US$1.4bn in the reported quarter. The company forecasts second-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates due to businesses reducing spending on technology solutions. This decision is influenced by economic uncertainty and high interest rates, leading clients to prioritize profitability and hesitate in committing to new contracts or technology initiatives. HPE expects revenue in the range of US$6.6bn to US$7bn for the second quarter, falling below analysts’ average estimate of US$7.11bn. The company HPE’s planned US$14bn deal for Juniper Networks is expected to double its networking market share. 2Q24 recommended trading range: $14 to $15. Neutral Outlook.
慧与(HPE)
- 24财年第一季营收:67.6亿美元,同比跌幅13.4%,逊预期3,400万美元
- 24财年第一季GAAP每股盈利:0.48美元,超预期0.03美元
- 24财年第二季指引:预计营收将在66亿美元至70亿美元之间,GAAP摊薄后每股净收益将在0.20美元至0.25美元之间,Non-GAAP摊薄后每股净收益将在0.36美元至0.41美元之间。24财年指引:按固定汇率计算,预计收入增长将持平至2%,GAAP营业利润增长将在7%至11%之间,Non-GAAP营业利润增长将持平至2%。GAAP摊薄后每股净收益在1.81美元至1.91美元之间,Non-GAAP摊薄后每股净收益在1.82美元至1.92美元之间。Non-GAAP摊薄净每股收益预估不包括约0.01美元的税后净摊薄每股调整。
- 短评:惠与第一季度收入下降13.5%,至67.6亿美元,低于预期。该公司首席财务官将业绩下滑归因于网络市场疲软和GPU交易时机。然而,在调整后的基础上,惠普报告每股0.48美元,高于每股0.45美元的预期。该公司在报告季度的年化收入增长率增长了42%,达到14亿美元。由于企业削减了在技术解决方案上的支出,该公司预计第二季度收入将低于华尔街的预期。这一决定受到经济不确定性和高利率的影响,导致客户优先考虑盈利能力,并在承诺新合同或技术计划时犹豫不决。惠普预计,第二季度营收将在66亿至70亿美元之间,低于分析师71.1亿美元的平均预期。惠与计划以140亿美元收购瞻博网络(Juniper Networks),预计将使其网络市场份额翻一番。24财年第二季度建议交易区间14美至15美元。中性前景。
