Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported strong top-line growth for the quarter ended January 31, 2026, with net revenue rising to $9.3 billion from $7.9 billion a year earlier, driven largely by the inclusion of Juniper’s networking business. Networking revenue climbed to $2.7 billion from $1.1 billion, while Cloud & AI was roughly flat at $6.3 billion.
Despite higher revenue, profitability softened. Net earnings attributable to common stockholders fell to $423 million from $598 million, and diluted EPS declined to $0.31 from $0.44, reflecting much higher amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related charges, and the absence of a prior-year gain on a business sale. The effective tax rate turned into a small benefit, helped by discrete tax items linked to the merger and stock-based compensation.
Cash generation improved markedly: operating cash flow swung to an inflow of $1.18 billion from an outflow of $390 million. HPE ended the quarter with $4.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and total debt of about $21.6 billion, including acquisition financing. Goodwill rose modestly to $23.8 billion, and HPE notes that its new Cloud & AI reporting unit has a relatively limited cushion above carrying value, highlighting sensitivity to future performance.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported strong first-quarter fiscal 2026 results, driven by networking and disciplined execution. Revenue was $9.3 billion, up 18.4% year over year. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.31, down from $0.44 a year ago, while non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $0.65 from $0.49.
Networking revenue jumped to $2.7 billion, up 151.5%, reflecting the integration of Juniper Networks and strong growth across campus, data center, security, and routing. Cloud & AI revenue was $6.3 billion, down 2.7%, but its operating margin improved to 10.2%. Cash flow from operations was $1.2 billion and free cash flow reached $0.7 billion.
The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1425 per common share, payable on or about April 23, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 24, 2026. For fiscal 2026, HPE reaffirmed revenue growth guidance of 17%–22%, raised Networking growth to 68%–73%, lifted GAAP EPS guidance to $1.02–$1.22 and non-GAAP EPS to $2.30–$2.50, and now expects at least $2.0 billion of free cash flow.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise executive Rami Rahim reported equity award activity involving restricted stock units (RSUs) and common shares. On February 20, 2026, RSUs covering 43,769 and 134,089 units were converted to common stock at a reference price of $21.37 per share as those RSUs vested.
To cover tax obligations, the filing shows dispositions of 21,842 and 66,482 common shares at $21.37 per share, described as share withholding rather than open‑market sales. Following these transactions, Rahim reports direct ownership of multiple RSU awards and common shares, plus additional common stock held indirectly through a living trust.
Footnotes explain that earlier equity awards granted in 2024 and 2025 were previously converted into larger RSU blocks, with portions vesting on 02/20/26 and further tranches scheduled to vest on 07/03/26 and other future dates. Additional RSU grants from July 2025 and September 2025 accrue dividend equivalent rights that increase the number of RSUs over time.
