Movement Alert|HP Inc. Falls 5.02% in Regular Trading, Goldman Sachs Bearish Call Combined with Profit Guidance Cut Triggers Sell-Off

Market Focus
Jun 03

On June 3, HP Inc. fell 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $26.295/share, with trading volume of $124 million. The decline was driven by a confluence of negative catalysts including a bearish Goldman Sachs report and the company's recent downward revision to full-year profit guidance.

Goldman Sachs recently published a report maintaining a bearish stance on HP, citing approximately 35% downside risk despite the stock's recent rally fueled by AI PC momentum. The investment bank's skepticism comes as HP reduced its full-year adjusted EPS upper limit from $3.20 to $3.10, while warning that rising memory costs will continue to pressure profit margins. Although HP's fiscal Q2 results beat expectations with revenue of $14.4 billion (up 9.2% year-over-year) and adjusted EPS of $0.86 versus the $0.71 consensus, the forward outlook dampened sentiment.

Additionally, analysts noted that approximately 2%-3% of commercial PC revenue was pulled forward due to early customer purchasing, potentially borrowing from Q4 growth. This demand front-loading, combined with the guidance cut and Goldman's bearish call, triggered profit-taking following the stock's prior AI PC-driven rally.
