Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Solid Order Growth Backs Upbeat Fiscal 2027 Outlook, Morgan Stanley Says

By

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's (HPE) solid order growth backs its strong fiscal 2027 guidance, following higher orders across the business in fiscal Q3, Morgan Stanley said in a Thursday note.

The company reported fiscal Q3 non-GAAP earnings of $1.11 per diluted share, up from $0.44 a year earlier, as net revenue rose to $12.21 billion from $9.14 billion. The period saw a 36% increase in networking orders and a 75% rise in traditional server orders, while artificial intelligence systems backlog reached about $7 billion, the brokerage noted.

Morgan Stanley said the order and backlog trends indicate demand durability into 2027, noting that a bulk of the company's outlook reflects this strong demand. The investment firms sees further upside to Hewlett Packard Enterprise's fiscal 2027 revenue growth outlook of 13% to 17%, according to the note.

Supply, however, remains as a limiting factor in the company's servers and networking business, Morgan Stanley noted.

Morgan Stanley cut its price target on Hewlett Packard Enterprise to $67 from $69, while maintaining its overweight rating.
