HP missed earnings estimates and is down more than 4% in the premarket. I think the PC and printer segment will limp along for a while before demand stabilizes again. So if the share price continues to fall, I have a new candidate for the portfolio. I'll probably wait one more quarter to get more insight on demand, but as I write, I don't expect improvement anytime soon, which could pull the price even lower.

Global PC shipments fell nearly 30% between January and March to levels below pre-pandemic levels, according to data from research firm IDC.

Sales in HP's personal systems segment fell 29% in the quarter, while the company's printing segment saw a 5% decline.


Great, thanks for the recap.

I have the same approach as you. If the share price continues to fall, I will also include this stock in my portfolio.

HP has a super rich history. Warren Buffett recently included it in his portfolio. It may not be a bad deal and if it falls, it will offer a super buying opportunity.

I've got a pretty nice position there already, but I could easily get some more to dilute the price. Maybe even Buffett will throw in something if it's anywhere near his purchase price;)

Are they somehow engaging about AI? It could be a shame for them here. PCs and printers don't just get bought, so it may take time for demand to rise to pre-Covid levels.
