HP Inc. (ISIN US40434L1052) was trading at EUR 28.63 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 9:24 a.m. CEST, down 0.17 percent from the prior close of EUR 28.68. The latest corporate signal came on September 21, when StockTitan reported that HP kept fiscal 2027 guidance in planning status; on September 26, MarketBeat reported that eight analysts assigned the stock a Hold rating.

Fiscal 2027 planning stays open

The September 21 filing gives investors a defined planning marker rather than a new fiscal 2027 earnings range. HP's fiscal 2026 outlook is more concrete: the company targets non-GAAP earnings per share of USD 3.19 to USD 3.29 and free cash flow of USD 3.0 billion to USD 3.2 billion, according to the same StockTitan filing summary.

Revenue growth meets margin pressure

HP's fiscal third-quarter revenue reached USD 15.68 billion, a 12.50 percent year-over-year increase, while adjusted earnings per share rose 10.70 percent to USD 0.83. Yahoo Finance reported that Personal Systems revenue grew 18.50 percent to USD 11.77 billion, but total PC units fell 16.00 percent year over year. That mix explains the central tension: demand shifted toward higher-value systems, while non-GAAP operating margin narrowed to 6.50 percent from a year earlier.

Cash flow supports the outlook

Operating cash flow was USD 1.74 billion in fiscal Q3 and free cash flow was USD 1.57 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. HP also expects AI PCs to represent 50.00 percent of shipments by the end of fiscal 2026, a target that links the current product mix to its longer-term planning cycle.

HP stock stays below its yearly high

On the primary NYSE market, HPQ was last at USD 32.12 on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, within a 52-week range of USD 17.56 to USD 36.23. The Lang & Schwarz quote places the German-market reference at EUR 28.63, with the prior close at EUR 28.68 and the daily move at minus 0.17 percent.
