Description: HPE Hewlett Packard Enterprise October 14, 2025
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) delivers end-to-end IT infrastructure that enables customers to capture, analyze, and act on data. Its portfolio spans general-purpose and workload-optimized servers (including ProLiant rack/tower, Synergy composable systems, Scale-Up, Edgeline, Cray EX/XD, and NonStop), as well as the Aruba edge-networking suite (Wi-Fi APs, switches, gateways, and cloud-managed networking, SD-WAN, security, analytics, and location services). HPE also monetizes consumption-based models through GreenLake, offers financing and leasing programs, and provides consultative services, software for communications and media, and research via Hewlett Packard Labs.
In FY 2023 HPE generated roughly $29 billion in revenue, with GreenLake consumption revenue growing ≈ 30 % YoY and representing about 30 % of total sales-a key indicator of the shift toward “as-a-service” models. Operating margin hovered near 5 %, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of hardware but offset by higher-margin services and software. The company’s free cash flow conversion improved to ~ 80 % of earnings, supporting its aggressive share-repurchase program.
Macro-level drivers for HPE include sustained corporate IT capex, accelerating adoption of hybrid-cloud and AI workloads that demand high-performance compute (e.g., Cray supercomputers) and low-latency edge infrastructure (Aruba). Additionally, ESG pressures are prompting enterprises to modernize data centers for energy efficiency, a trend HPE leverages through its sustainable-design initiatives and GreenLake’s pay-per-use model. The broader technology-hardware sector remains sensitive to semiconductor supply constraints and global macro-uncertainty, which can compress margins if inventory builds.
