At the close on September 17, 2026, HP Inc. stock finished at USD 34.66 on the New York Stock Exchange, up 5.7% from the prior session in a move that extended its recent rebound. The gain outpaced the broader Nasdaq Composite, which rose about 1.7% on September 17, 2026, underscoring the stock's current momentum. As Quiver Quantitative reported on September 17, 2026, investors reacted to stronger earnings guidance and recent AI-focused product developments, which helped to drive the advance. Today, HP is due to remain in focus as markets digest that updated outlook alongside the broader technology rally.
September 17, 2026 in numbers
HP Inc. (ISIN US40434L1052, NYSE: HPQ) closed at USD 34.66 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2026, up 5.7% from its previous close of USD 32.79, according to NYSE quote data. Intraday trading on September 17, 2026 saw the shares move between a low of about USD 33.80 and a high near USD 34.90, keeping the close within that range.

Per recent quote data, HP Inc. shares on September 17, 2026 traded within a 52-week band that has seen highs around the mid-30 USD range and lows in the high-20 USD area, with the latest close positioning the stock closer to the upper half of that interval. The advance contrasted with the broader computer hardware and peripherals group, which rose more modestly on the day, and it followed a period in which HP Inc. stock outperformed its industry by several percentage points over the week, as noted by Zacks Investment Research.
Today: guidance and tech rally in focus
Today, HP Inc. trades ahead of the opening bell with investors still digesting the company’s recently raised fiscal 2026 earnings and free-cash-flow outlook, which Quiver Quantitative described as a key driver for the latest share-price strength. In that fiscal third-quarter update, HP reported revenue of USD 15.7 billion and lifted its guidance, which remains a reference point for traders heading into today’s US session. Broader technology sentiment also provides a backdrop: the Nasdaq Composite gained about 1.7% on September 17, 2026, according to a summary of US market moves by Sohu, and any continuation of that rally in large-cap technology and semiconductor names could influence trading in HP Inc. stock today.
