Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers technology solutions to business and public sector enterprises. Estimates have been moving down after the company reported third-quarter fiscal 2017 results. Although the top and bottom lines came ahead of the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate, the disappointing guidance for the next quarter undermines its near-term prospects. The company hinted that competitive pricing, heightened commodities pricing pressure and some dilution from M&A will dent its bottom-line performance. Furthermore, in our opinion, the company’s contrarian strategy may be in the right direction, but the turnaround is still far behind as we haven’t seen any materialistic improvement in its recently reported financial results. We also consider that the company is still struggling to determine its true business focus. The stock has underperformed the industry to which it belongs to in a year’s time." (9/7/2017)
• 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Implementation of Infosight from NMBL for servers could raise margins, but we are skeptical. Margin analysis suggest that HPE server differentiation is currently weak. Consensus is likely embedding a weak rebound of server operating margins, which is likely realistic, in our view." (7/14/2017)
• 3. Robert W. Baird analysts commented, "We attended HPE Discover, the company’s annual user and partner conference, in Las Vegas this week. Attendance was down this year at nearly 9,000 versus 10,000 attendees in the last two years. Refined focus ex-Services & Software has given management confidence on HPE’s ability to out-innovate larger competitors and capture opportunities like Hybrid IT , Edge Computing, and IoT . We generally view the focus as positive but remain Neutral-rated given secular and competitive pressures facing HPE’s core markets. IR SUMMIT: – F17 guidance. Although there was no change to F17 guidance, management did provide detail on back-end loaded EPS targets. Specifically, the company expects normal year-end seasonality and the previously announced $200-30M cost savings to provide 300-400 bps upside to EG margins by Q4. Around half of the cost savings will be aimed at transitory items (i.e., discretionary tightening) with the remainder focused on more permanent structural realignment (i.e., “right-sizing” recent acquisitions). – EG margins. Despite growth in higher-margin businesses (e.g., 3PAR, Aruba), overall EG margins have continued to decline. Management noted that half of the 300bps decline witnessed in FQ2 was due to DRAM-related pressure (20-25% of server BOM), which could abate with near-term customer pricing traction and medium-term component supply improvements." (6/7/2017)
• 4. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "We are maintaining our BUY rating and $10.00 target price. We maintain our view that the risk/reward profile looks interesting at these levels." (4/4/2017)
• 5. Mizuho analysts commented, "HP Enterprise announced its acquisition of Nimble Storage for $12.50 per share (plus $200mm of unvested equity awards) today before market open representing a net cash purchase price of $1 billion. The deal is scheduled to close in April (subject to regulatory approvals) and HPE expects the acquisition to be accretive to EPS in the first full fiscal year following the close.
