Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company Price and EPS Surprise
Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s fiscal second-quarter results are expected to have been hampered by soft IT spending. Enterprises has been postponing their large IT spending plans due to a weakening global economy amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues.
The company has been facing headwinds in its Intelligent Edge business. Customer inventory saturation owing to past year’s purchases is likely to have hurt the segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The demand for Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s AI Server is anticipated to have remained strong during the second quarter. However, limited graphic processing unit availability is likely to have been the big hurdle in meeting demand, thereby hurting the segment’s revenue growth.
However, strength in HPE’s as-a-service platform and contributions from high-performance computing & modular cooling systems are likely to have somewhat offset the negative impact of tepid IT spending.
The increasing adoption of the Aruba Edge Services Platform and HPE GreenLake are expected to have driven Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. The HPE GreenLake solution is likely to have benefited from the company’s effort to simplify its cloud strategy by including all related products in the hybrid cloud segment. This initiative is expected to have simplified the customer adoption of the solution and added to the top line.
The company has been benefiting from persistent growth in sales of its accelerator processing unit, primarily driven by rising demand of HPE Cray EX, Cray XT and HPE ProLiant Gen11 AI-optimized servers.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s gross margin is likely to have improved during the quarter, driven by a strong pricing discipline, the benefits of an improving supply chain, a positive mix shift to high-margin software-rich businesses, cost takeouts and automation.
