HP Raises Profit Forecast Amid Strong AI PC Demand and Tariff Refunds
HP forecasted fourth-quarter profit above Wall Street estimates, driven by tariff refunds and higher prices for premium and AI-powered PCs. The company reported third-quarter revenue of $15.7 billion, up 12.5% year-over-year, supported by strong demand for AI-optimized devices despite a 16% decline in PC shipments. HP also raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast, factoring in tariff refunds. However, printing revenue fell 2%, and rising memory chip costs remain a challenge amid global shortages.
