HP Inc. (HPQ): score, valuation & FAQ
HP Inc. (HPQ) is a Computer Hardware company that scores 50.4 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A), while PEG (D) rate weaker. On valuation, HPQ sits about 40% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 11% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten.
Is HPQ a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores HPQ 50.4 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by P/E (A). A score is a quantitative screen of HP Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does HPQ score 50.4 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 84.0 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 35.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. HPQ earns its highest marks on P/E (A), and is held back by PEG (D). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so HPQ is measured against Computer Hardware peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is HPQ overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $30.20, HPQ sits about 40% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 11% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten. It trades at an 11.5x P/E (graded A). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in HPQ?
Net margin 4.1% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
