On September 3, Hewlett Packard Enterprise fell 9.05% in regular trading, trading at $46.8/share, with turnover of $104 million. Despite reporting blowout fiscal Q3 results the prior evening, the stock extended its post-earnings decline as dual headwinds weighed on sentiment.
The company reported fiscal Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.11, beating the consensus estimate of $0.93 by 19% and representing a 152% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $12.213 billion, above the $11.908 billion estimate. Full-year adjusted EPS guidance was raised to $3.75-$3.85, well above the prior range of $3.35-$3.45 and the Street estimate of $3.44.
However, management explicitly warned during the earnings call that supply chain constraints continue to limit the company's ability to meet surging customer demand, creating a key bottleneck for growth. Simultaneously, the company announced a multi-year AI infrastructure networking partnership with Oracle and disclosed that it has issued warrants to Oracle to purchase HPE common stock, triggering market concerns over potential equity dilution. These two factors combined to pressure the stock despite the strong operational performance.
