<\/div>\n

Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares surged more than 36% in after-hours trading after the company reported record second-quarter results and raised its growth outlook, underscoring the strength of enterprise spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The rally puts the stock on track for its largest single-day gain on record if the after-hours advance carries into Tuesday’s trading session.<\/p>\n

The company reported revenue of $10.68 billion for the quarter, up 40% from a year earlier and well ahead of analysts\u2019 expectations of $9.79 billion, according to LSEG data. <\/p>\n

Adjusted earnings came in at 79 cents per share, comfortably surpassing estimates of 53 cents.<\/p>\n

The company upgraded its financial outlook, reflecting confidence that AI-driven spending will remain robust.<\/p>\n

HPE now expects fiscal 2026 revenue growth of between 29% and 33%, compared with its previous forecast of 17% to 22%.<\/p>\n

The company also raised its networking revenue growth outlook to between 72% and 75%, up from its earlier projection of 68% to 73%.<\/p>\n

Enterprise AI adoption drives growth<\/h2>\n

HPE executives said the quarter was powered by strong demand across its core server business, particularly from enterprise customers deploying AI-related workloads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strength of the quarter was largely driven by the performance of our traditional server business, which is really focused on enterprise customers,\u201d Chief Financial Officer Marie Myers told Reuters.<\/p>\n

She said a key shift during the quarter was the growing adoption of agentic AI, where AI systems can perform tasks with limited human intervention, becoming a meaningful workload for enterprise customers.<\/p>\n

Cloud & AI revenue, the segment that includes HPE\u2019s server business, reached $7.71 billion, comfortably ahead of Wall Street expectations of $6.93 billion.<\/p>\n

The stronger outlook also comes as major technology companies continue to ramp up investment in AI infrastructure. <\/p>\n

Alphabet and Amazon are expected to spend more than $700 billion collectively on AI-related infrastructure this year, creating significant opportunities for suppliers of servers, networking equipment and data-center hardware.<\/p>\n

Myers said HPE has been managing rising memory chip costs through a combination of pricing measures and long-term agreements that extend into 2027.<\/p>\n

The results come just days after Dell Technologies also reported stronger-than-expected earnings<\/a> and lifted its annual outlook, highlighting sustained demand for AI servers and related infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Juniper acquisition adds momentum<\/h2>\n

Networking remained another major contributor to growth following HPE\u2019s acquisition of Juniper Networks, which closed in July 2025 after overcoming regulatory hurdles.<\/p>\n

Networking revenue rose 148% from a year earlier to $2.69 billion, slightly ahead of analyst expectations of $2.68 billion. <\/p>\n

The increase was largely driven by the inclusion of Juniper’s business.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri said the company\u2019s performance reflects durable demand trends and successful execution of its strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur results are durable,\u201d Neri said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are creating significant shareholder value through innovation, and to our investors who came with us along the journey \u2014 and in particular through the Juniper acquisition \u2014 thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neri also said HPE expects to return approximately 75% of free cash flow to shareholders in fiscal 2027, signaling confidence in the company\u2019s cash generation as AI infrastructure spending continues to expand.<\/p>\n
