HP INC. $12

HP INC. $12 (www.hp.com) took its current form on November 1, 2015, when the old Hewlett-Packard Co. split into two firms. HP Inc. focuses on personal computers and printers, while Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (see below) sells computing services and products, like servers and analytics software, to businesses and governments. Hewlett-Packard shareholders received one share of HP Inc. and one share of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise for each old share they held. Demand for printers and ink continues to slow as more people share photos on social media instead of printing them. As well, businesses are still evaluating Microsoft’s new Windows 10 operating system before buying new computers. Hold.1
