HP - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

HP
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in HP Inc.:

  • HP Inc. recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.2894 per share, which translates to an annualized dividend of $1.16 and a yield of 4.79%. This consistent dividend payment can provide a steady income stream for investors.
  • The company reported a revenue of $13.50 billion for the last quarter, exceeding analyst estimates of $13.35 billion. This indicates strong sales performance and effective management, which can be attractive to investors looking for growth potential.
  • HP Inc. has a current stock price of $24.18, which reflects a significant drop of 13.3% recently. This may present a buying opportunity for investors who believe in the company's long-term recovery and growth potential.
  • The company has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.61, which is relatively low compared to industry averages. A lower P/E ratio can suggest that the stock is undervalued, making it an attractive option for value investors.
  • HP Inc. operates in diverse segments, including Personal Systems and Printing, catering to a wide range of customers from individual consumers to large enterprises. This diversification can help mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations.

HP
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in HP Inc. for these reasons:

  • HP Inc. has a negative return on equity of 253.39%, indicating that the company is not generating profit from its equity investments. This could raise concerns about the company's financial health and management effectiveness.
  • The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week low of $22.97 and a high of $39.80. Such fluctuations can be a red flag for risk-averse investors who prefer stable investments.
  • Corporate insiders own only 0.38% of the company's stock, which may suggest a lack of confidence from those who are most familiar with the company's operations and future prospects.
  • HP Inc. has a P/E/G ratio of 2.96, which indicates that the stock may be overvalued relative to its earnings growth. A high P/E/G ratio can deter growth-focused investors looking for better value.
  • The recent drop in stock price may reflect broader market concerns or negative sentiment towards the technology sector, which could impact future performance and investor confidence.
