Hp (HPQ) Stock
Global PC and printer giant with recurring revenue. Here's the price, business snapshot, and what's worth knowing about Hp in August 2026.
HP Inc. (HPQ) is a global technology company best known for its personal computers and printers. It sells laptops, desktops and workstations for consumers and businesses, alongside a broad range of printing hardware, supplies (ink and toner), managed print services and software. Recurring revenue from consumables and service contracts helps smooth the hardware cycle, while scale and distribution aid profitability. Key drivers include corporate refresh cycles, consumer demand for PCs, pricing in the printer consumables market and product innovation (including advances in 3D printing and subscription offerings). With a market capitalisation of about $26.32bn, HP operates in competitive markets dominated by several large rivals, and its results can be sensitive to supply-chain disruption, component costs and shifts in demand.
