Will HP Inc. give full-year fiscal 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance with midpoint below fiscal 2026 non-GAAP EPS in its Q4 2026 earnings release?
Posted 2026-11-04 — 31 days before the deadline, stated before the outcome.
HP Inc. is a multinational information technology company headquartered in the United States that manufactures personal computers and printing equipment. Like other public companies, it issues quarterly earnings releases that include both reported results and forward-looking non-GAAP EPS guidance for the next fiscal year. Such guidance is a standard element of corporate financial disclosure and is tracked by market participants.
The claim
In its fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 earnings release in late November 2026, HP Inc. gives full-year fiscal 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance with a midpoint below its reported fiscal 2026 non-GAAP EPS.
Reasoning trace
- Memory makers are diverting capacity to AI and HBM, leaving commodity DRAM and NAND tight and contract prices rising.
- PC makers such as HP buy memory as a large input cost and have limited room to pass it on in a soft consumer PC market.
- HP's late-November earnings release is the first point where it must quantify the fiscal 2027 margin impact.
- EPS guidance below the prior year would show the memory squeeze moving downstream into PC makers' earnings.
