  11. Causes? • Investment • Inflationary concerns • Increase demand • Mature electronic industry • New uses • Conductive inks • Nanotechnology • Etc.

  12. HP Q1 2011 Earnings • Announced Tuesday, Feb 22 • Expected EPS: 1.26-1.32 • Reported EPS: 1.17 (up 26% YoY) • Share Price Performance • After hours Feb 22: from 48.23 to 43.55 (-9.7%) • Today (10:00am): 42.99 • Key Concerns • Weakness in personal computer, technology service segments • First full quarter with new CEO, Leo Apotheker

  13. HP Q1 2011 Earnings • Netbook Decline • HP has been a leader in netbook sales, but these have been impacted by tablets (iPad) • HP not yet released their tablet (WebOS) • However: tablet expected within weeks, HP can claim a market share better than in netbooks • Rise in Price of Computer Components • Concern that price increases will compress margins for PC sales • Will affect whole industry

  14. HP Q1 2011 Earnings • Effect of New CEO • First full quarter with new CEO, shareholders are not yet as familiar as they were with Hurd • Concern over Q1 results magnified by general uncertainty around new CEO • Fears may be calmed at ‘analyst day’, March 14 • Long-Term Optimism • Uptick in IT spending expected • 23% blade server revenue growth, 30% router and switching revenue growth(increasing market share)

  15. HP Q1 2011 Earnings • Unified Strategy • WebOS as a maturing platform receiving significant attention • More likely than Android to match iOS user experience, consumer-friendlyness • WebOS on printers, computers, represents a strong strategy (Apple has yet to leverage iOS on their own PCs) • Integration of Palm continues to proceed smoothly

  16. HP Q1 2011 Earnings • Analyst Day – March 14 • Serve as a chance to increase familiarity with new CEO, calm investor uncertainty • “If HP can explain the miss, and rebound trajectory, shares should rebound materially” • Product Announcement – March 14 • “The big unveiling” – to show how diversified product line will become a tremendous strength • Apotheker: HP has major head-start over Apple in terms of leveraging internet services

  17. HP Q1 2011 Earnings • My Take: • HPQ is cheap, 11.63P/E, beaten up over soft guidance on PC sales, magnified by general unease about CEO and company strategy • Disappointment over netbook sales will fade as tablet sales take over • Unease about CEO, strategy, likely to be directly addressed and resolved on March 14 • HP’s method of leveraging WebOS, product diversity, represents a unique strength – Apotheker just needs to sell his vision
