What Happened?
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) stock is climbing today after the company delivered fiscal second-quarter results that topped analysts’ expectations and raised its full-year profit outlook.
The company reported revenue of $7.63 billion, up 6% year over year and exceeding the analyst consensus of $7.49 billion. Its adjusted earnings of $0.38 per share also surpassed estimates of $0.33 per share.
Looking ahead, HPE raised the low end of its full-year forecast for adjusted earnings per share to $1.78 from $1.70, while keeping the high end at $1.90.
The company also provided strong third-quarter guidance, forecasting revenue of $8.2 billion to $8.5 billion, which beat analyst expectations.
A key driver of the improved outlook was reduced tariff exposure. HPE now anticipates only a $0.04 hit to adjusted per-share earnings from tariffs for the year, down from a prior estimate of $0.07, as USMCA exemptions have covered most of its products.

With AI systems revenue exceeding $1 billion in the quarter and a growing backlog of $3.2 billion, HPE stock appears well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing AI infrastructure buildout.
HPE’s diversified business model, spanning servers, hybrid cloud, and intelligent edge solutions, provides multiple growth drivers even as macroeconomic uncertainty persists.
