What HP does

HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) is a global information technology company that designs, manufactures, and sells personal computing, imaging and printing, and related services and supplies. The company's revenue is organized primarily into Personal Systems (notebooks, desktops, workstations, AI PCs, collaboration endpoints including Poly, and gaming hardware under HyperX and Omen) and Printing (office and consumer printers, Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing, consumables, and the Site Flow print marketplace). Personal Systems accounted for approximately 71% of revenue in Q2 FY2026, with Printing contributing the balance. The company serves a diversified customer base spanning consumers, SMBs, large enterprises, education, and the public sector, with named adoption across regulated industries and government accounts.

HP's technology platform rests on three layers: hardware (PCs, workstations, printers, 3D printing systems), software and services (the WXP digital employee experience platform, Wolf Security, and the Site Flow multi-sided print marketplace), and a growing AI software stack that includes the HP Nio AI assistant, on-device AI tooling on NPU-equipped PCs, and AI features trained on telemetry from approximately 48 million endpoints. The WXP platform was materially extended through the acquisition of Vyopta (2024) and now serves as the foundation for HP's strategy to convert hardware customers into software-and-services subscribers under the All-In Plan subscription model. Recent product launches include the ZGX Fury AI workstation, AI PC co-branded with Ferrari (June 2026), and expanded NVIDIA RTX Spark integration announced at Computex 2026.

HP monetizes through hardware unit sales (consumer and commercial PCs, printers, workstations), recurring supplies revenue from the print installed base, software and services (WXP subscriptions, managed print services, support contracts), and emerging subscription bundles under the All-In Plan. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a global reseller and retail channel, supplemented by strategic partnerships (notably with NVIDIA for AI silicon and Ferrari for brand co-marketing). The company is publicly traded (NYSE: HPQ), headquartered in the United States, and carries a meaningful institutional shareholder base including Berkshire Hathaway's $4.2B equity stake acquired in 2022.

Direct peers

• Dell Technologies: Direct competitor across HP's largest segment — personal systems including commercial PCs, workstations (Precision vs. Z), and enterprise servers. Both companies compete for enterprise IT refresh cycles, AI PC adoption, and HPC workstation share.
• Lenovo Group: Direct competitor in personal computers (ThinkPad vs. EliteBook, IdeaPad vs. OmniBook), workstations, and increasingly in AI PCs and HPC. Lenovo is the world's largest PC OEM by units and competes head-to-head with HP across consumer, commercial, and gaming.
• Canon Inc. Direct competitor in printing — inkjet, laser, multifunction, and commercial/production printing — overlapping with HP's Smart Tank, OfficeJet, LaserJet, and commercial press portfolios.
• Epson: Direct competitor in consumer and SMB inkjet printing (EcoTank vs. HP Smart Tank), and a relevant comparable in refillable-ink cartridge-free printing technology and supplies economics.
• Brother Industries: Direct competitor in laser and inkjet printers, multifunction devices, and managed print for SMB and mid-market — a key overlap with HP's LaserJet, OfficeJet Pro, and small-business MPS offerings.
• Xerox Holdings: Direct competitor in managed print services, multifunction printers, and production printing, overlapping with HP's enterprise print fleet, MPS, and commercial printing portfolios.
