On September 3, Hewlett Packard Enterprise fell 5.17% overnight, trading at $49.15 per share, with turnover of $15,300. Despite a significant Q3 earnings beat and raised full-year guidance, the stock came under pressure from supply chain warnings and equity dilution concerns.
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 consensus of $3.44. AI systems revenue reportedly surged to $2 billion from $900 million in the prior quarter, while the CFO disclosed a multi-billion-dollar hyperscaler server deal secured after quarter-end.
However, two factors weighed on sentiment. The CEO warned on the earnings call that persistent supply chain constraints continue to limit the company's ability to fulfill surging customer demand. Additionally, as part of a multi-year global AI infrastructure networking partnership with Oracle deploying Juniper networking solutions, the company issued warrants to Oracle to purchase common stock, sparking dilution fears among investors.
