Last week, HPE’s partner Nvidia continued to smash consensus estimates, with revenue and EPS up 206% and nearly 600% from prior year period, mainly contributed by its outstanding performance in data center segment. Could HPE deliver the same good news for investors just like Nvidia? We shall wait and see its Q4 2023 earnings result scheduled to be released on 28^th November (Tuesday), after market close.

In the previous quarter, HPE reported $7.02B in sales revenue, slightly above analysts’ forecast $6.99B. By segment, Compute generated the most revenue at $2.6B, but still down -10% from the same period last year. Intelligent Edge generated $1.4B, up 53% (y/y); High Performance Computing & AI and Financial services were up 3% (y/y) and 7% (y/y) respectively, to $836 million and $873 million respectively; Some gains were slightly offset by Storage, which was down -2% (y/y) to $1.07B.

Non-GAAP gross margin was at 35.9% in Q3 2023, up 1.2pts from the same period last year. This was mainly contributed by the company’s improved portfolio mix and pricing discipline. In addition, annualized revenue run rate (ARR) has expanded 48% to $1.3B, with growth in software/services as the main contributor (68%), followed by infrastructure (21%) and financial services (11%).
