On June 4, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) declined 3.26% in regular trading, trading at $53.54/share with trading volume of $120 million, as investors continued to lock in gains following the stock's historic post-earnings surge.
The selloff reflects ongoing profit-taking after HPE's blowout fiscal Q2 results, released on June 1, sparked a single-day rally exceeding 25% — the largest in company history. HPE reported Q2 revenue of $10.7 billion, up 40% year-over-year and approximately $900 million above consensus estimates. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.79, far surpassing the $0.53 analyst expectation, marking the widest earnings beat since 2018. Network segment revenue surged 148% while data center networking revenue jumped 233%.
The company also dramatically raised its fiscal 2026 guidance, now expecting revenue growth of 29%-33% versus prior guidance of 17%-22%, and adjusted EPS of $3.35-$3.45 versus the prior $2.30-$2.50 range. Despite Goldman Sachs raising its price target from $32 to $79 and multiple firms maintaining bullish ratings, short-term profit-taking pressure has dominated trading over consecutive sessions as the stock consolidates its gains.
