HP Inc. shares rallied 8.9% on June 2, 2026, following the tech giant’s unveiling of a fresh portfolio of computers and laptops featuring NVIDIA’s RTX Spark technology, designed for AI professionals, content creators, and gaming enthusiasts. The equity reached a new annual peak of $29.55 during trading.
This momentum followed closely behind an impressive quarterly earnings release from just days before, which had already propelled the stock upward by 10.1%.
During Q2 FY2026, HP delivered revenue totaling $14.4 billion, exceeding Wall Street’s consensus estimate of $13.99 billion. The company’s adjusted earnings per share registered at $0.86, significantly outperforming the projected $0.71.
The period wasn’t without challenges — PC unit shipments declined 7% compared to the same quarter last year. However, improved pricing strategies and a transition toward higher-end products successfully counterbalanced that reduction.
HP’s Personal Systems segment shouldered much of the performance, generating revenue growth of 13% to reach $10.2 billion. Artificial intelligence-enabled PCs currently account for 44% of total unit shipments, marking an increase from the previous reporting period.
The freshly announced NVIDIA-equipped portfolio features OmniBook laptops alongside a streamlined desktop model. This product reveal amplified an already positive trajectory established by the earnings announcement.
Derivatives market behavior reinforced the optimistic sentiment. Call option trading volumes spiked unusually high throughout the session, indicating market participants were betting on continued price appreciation.
HP isn’t merely participating in the AI revolution — the company is placing a substantial wager on its future. Management indicated that AI-capable PCs could constitute 60–70% of total unit shipments within the next year, representing a significant leap from the present 44% level.
The organization also disclosed double-digit revenue expansion in advanced computing products and workforce technology offerings, complemented by market share gains in the premium PC category.
HP has distributed dividends for 56 straight years. The current dividend yield stands at 4.09%, and InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis indicates the stock may possess additional upside potential.
Not all market observers share the enthusiasm. Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its Sell stance on HPQ with a price objective of $19.00 — representing a substantial discount relative to current trading levels. The investment bank highlighted margin compression as its primary reservation.
This represents a meaningful divergence between Goldman’s valuation and the stock’s present market price, which merits consideration given the equity’s rapid appreciation.
HP has advanced 32.6% year-to-date and currently trades near its annual high. Nonetheless, investors who allocated $1,000 to HP stock five years ago would hold approximately $982.22 today.
Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its $19.00 valuation following the Q2 results that topped estimates, with profitability margin concerns continuing as the firm’s principal worry.
