HP Inc. reported on Tuesday its net revenue for the second quarter of its fiscal 2023 stood at $12.9 billion, dropping 22% compared to the same period a year earlier and coming in slightly below estimates.
GAAP net earnings climbed 7% year on year to reach $1.1 billion and GAAP diluted net earnings per share (EPS) surged 14% to $1.07 in the quarter ending April 30, coming in above the company's previous forecast of $0.40 to $0.50. Adjusted net earnings plunged 31% to $0.8 billion, or $0.80 per share.
