HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) will report third-quarter earnings after market close on Wednesday, Aug. 26. The Palo Alto-based technology firm faces expectations for a decline in profitability compared to the prior year period.

Analysts project quarterly earnings per share (EPS) of $0.66, a decrease from the $0.75 reported in the year-ago quarter. Consensus estimates place quarterly revenue at $14.39 billion, up from the $13.93 billion logged last year.

Analyst Ratings and Price Targets

Several prominent analysts have recently adjusted their outlooks for HP shares. Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng maintained a Sell rating while raising the price target from $19 to $21 on Aug. 12, 2026. Ng holds an accuracy rate of 77%.

Other major firms have also revised targets upward while maintaining neutral or hold stances:

Citigroup’s Asiya Merchant has the highest accuracy rate among the group at 92%, followed by JP Morgan’s Samik Chatterjee at 86%.

Dividend and Market Reaction

On June 16, HP declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per share on its common stock. Following the news flow, HP shares gained 3.3% to close at $29.52 on Tuesday.

What the Numbers Show

The consensus revenue estimate of $14.39 billion implies a modest top-line growth of approximately 3.3% against the $13.93 billion reported in the prior-year quarter. However, the expected drop in EPS from $0.75 to $0.66 suggests that margin compression or increased costs may be offsetting the revenue gains, indicating a divergence between top-line performance and bottom-line profitability.
