What do the earnings figures change?
HPE's fiscal third-quarter results provide the operating backdrop for those targets. Revenue reached USD 12.21 billion for the three months ended July 31, 2026, up 33.70 percent from the prior-year period, while GAAP diluted earnings per share came to USD 1.06, up USD 0.85 year over year, according to the CEO.CA copy of the company release.
The growth was concentrated in HPE's operating engines. Networking revenue rose 74.90 percent to USD 2.90 billion, while Cloud and AI revenue increased 25.40 percent to USD 9.00 billion in fiscal third quarter 2026, according to the CEO.CA release copy. That mix explains why analysts have emphasized networking and AI infrastructure rather than treating the quarter as a one-off server rebound.
Dividend and next reporting date
HPE declared a regular cash dividend of USD 0.1425 per share for payment on October 16, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 17, 2026, according to the CEO.CA release copy. The next earnings report is listed for December 3, 2026, after the close, by GetSignal.
