How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 8.9x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: HPE is currently trading at $21.52, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $21.31 to $23.98. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 8.0) is in line with its historical norms (8.9). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 3.3% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.

Technical Outlook: Technically, HPE is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $22.01. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.

Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (45/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $26.44 (+20.1%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
