Dell Technologies' (DELL) first-quarter fiscal 2024 results continue to reflect sluggish PC demand, hurting Client Solutions Group business.
HP Inc. CEO Enrique Lores sees big changes ahead to the business work as AI advances.
Revenue fell short of estimates due to a marked decline in PC sales. As a recap, for the three-month stretch ending in April, HP turned $12.9 billion in revenue into an adjusted per-share profit of $1.07. The bottom line beat estimates of $0.76 per share, although it still slumped 31% from the year-ago second quarter's comparison of $1.20.
HP's second quarter results were mixed. Revenue was slightly lighter than analysts were expecting. It comes amid a backdrop of slowing PC sales. HP CEO Enrique Lores expects PC demand to pick up in the coming months. Lores also anticipates benefiting from AI, telling Yahoo Finance Live that AI will "radically change" how we use PCs.
