HP Inc. remains a scarce value stock in a very expensive stock market, trading at just ~11x forward revenue. The stock dipped after reporting weaker PC sales and higher commodity costs that ate into operating margins. However, the company is still expecting PC sales to accelerate in FY25, driven by new AI features as well as the end of support for Windows 10.
