Over the 2014 .1452 .1452 .16 .16 .61 next three years, HPE expects its markets 2015 .16 .16 .176 .176 to expand at a 4% annual pace, and looks for its earnings to advance faster than its revenues. Investment in promising areas is a priority, but HPE’s capital plans also include stock repurchases and dividends. The shares may appeal to growth-oriented investors. HP Inc faces soft demand for personal systems and intense price competition from Japanese competitors. With 64% of its revenues outside the United States, currency pressures likely will persist. Revenues ($50 billion in the four quarters ending on July 31st) are expected to decline moderately in fiscal 2016. After restructuring and separation costs of only $0.12 a share, HP Inc anticipates earning $1.55-$1.65 a share in the new year, about 5% short of its fiscal 2015 expectation. HP Inc plans to accelerate investment in the office printing, commercial mobility, and services arenas, but the long-term outlook for its markets is cloudy. It intends to return 50%-75% of free cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases. The issue is mostly of interest to patient, income-oriented investors.
