HP Inc. stock (ISIN US40434L1052) closed at USD 34.66 on September 17, 2026, up 5.7 percent from USD 32.79. The move followed HP's raised fiscal 2026 outlook and a fresh focus on cash generation.

Raised cash flow outlook

According to StockTitan, HP Inc. lifted fiscal 2026 free cash flow to USD 3.0 billion to USD 3.2 billion and now expects non-GAAP EPS of USD 3.19 to USD 3.29 in the same year. The filing also puts Q4 2026 non-GAAP EPS at USD 0.69 to USD 0.79.

The same source says fiscal 2026 first-quarter net revenue was USD 14.4 billion, up 6.9 percent year over year, with non-GAAP diluted EPS of USD 0.81 versus USD 0.74 a year earlier. Personal Systems revenue reached USD 10.3 billion, up 11 percent, while Printing revenue was USD 4.2 billion and declined 2 percent.

Analysts stay constructive

According to MarketBeat, the broader peer set for Hewlett Packard Enterprise carried an average target price of USD 69.18 and a consensus Moderate Buy rating, while Truist Financial lifted its target to USD 70.00. For HP Inc., Yahoo Finance showed fiscal 2026 revenue estimates of USD 59.85 billion and current-year EPS estimates of USD 3.24.

Trefis said on September 17, 2026 that HP's Personal Systems margin was 4.6 percent in fiscal Q3 2026 and that the segment still grew 18 percent year over year. That mix matters because HP's latest outlook ties earnings more closely to volume, pricing and cash conversion than to margin expansion alone.

Stock and valuation

HP Inc. stock ended September 17, 2026 at USD 34.66 on the NYSE, with the day change calculated from USD 32.79. For investors, the next test is whether the higher fiscal 2026 guidance can hold while the stock stays close to its recent rebound.
