"HP" records the first semester height of personal computers in two years
HP has announced that it has achieved quarterly revenue that exceeded analysts, including the first increase in personal computer sales in two years, which is an optimistic indication of a long -valued recovery in the market. HP Computers revenue rose 3% to $ 8.43 billion in the second fiscal quarter, compared to the expectations of $ 8.28 billion analysts. Business has decreased year -on -year since May 2022. The jump is due to commercial sales, which increased by $ 6.24 billion. The company said in a statement on Wednesday that consumer sales still dropped to fall by 3% to $ 2.18 billion. Computers between challenges and hope that the personal computer market has been a historical decline over the past two years after many consumers, companies and schools bought laptops in the first months of the epidemic. In the first quarter, the shipping increased by 1.5%, which has been the first increase since the end of 2021, the IDC sector data analysis Company said in April. Computer manufacturers hope that these numbers will be a sign of the end of the recession and that the growth will accelerate in 2024 with the launch of devices equipped with a new version of the “Microsoft” Windows operating system, as well as units equipped with discs to handle artificial intelligence. CEO Artificial Intelligence Bet said in an interview that computers who operate artificial intelligence technology, such as those revealed at the “Microsoft” conference by “HP” last week, will represent about 10% of the total consignments in the second half of the year. He added that the financial impact in 2025 and 2026 would be ‘more important’, as the company expects the number to rise to about 50% of the consignments after three years of launch. The company’s share price did not change significantly in late transactions after closing at $ 32.80 in New York. The 9% share price rose this year and behind the peer “Dell Technology”, which has increased its value more than twice this year because of its enthusiasm for its servers who can interact with artificial intelligence. HP has failed to gain any “artificial intelligence -based momentum” to improve its value, although accepting new personal computers with abilities to deal with artificial intelligence can change that, according to what Tony Skonaggi, an analyst at Sanford C Bernstein, wrote before publishing the results. “Besides growth in shipping, personal computers equipped with artificial intelligence technology are also expected to be higher prices, providing more opportunities for personal computers and components.” ID computers equipped with artificial intelligence technology are also expected to be at higher prices, providing more opportunities for personal computers and components. “In the chapter that ended on April 30, total sales fell by less than $ 1% to $ 12.8 billion, compared to the average expectations of $ 12.6 billion. The arrow gain, with the exception of some items, amounted to 82 cents per share, which is almost in line with Wall Street.
