Who this company fights with for the same customers
Generated on September 18, 2026 with claude-haiku-4-5 — shared with all users
Dell sells the same x86 servers, enterprise storage arrays and AI infrastructure to the same corporate data-centre buyers, and is the market leader in both servers and external storage where HPE ranks behind it.
Cisco is HPE's main rival in enterprise networking — campus switching, Wi-Fi, routing and data-centre fabrics — the market HPE doubled down on by buying Juniper Networks.
IBM competes for the same hybrid-cloud and mission-critical computing budgets of large enterprises, pairing its own servers with consulting and software much as HPE does with GreenLake.
Arista is the direct rival for high-speed data-centre and AI-cluster Ethernet switching, the segment HPE now addresses with the Juniper portfolio.
NetApp fights HPE for the same enterprise storage-array customers and ranks just above it in the external storage market.
Lenovo competes directly for standard rack-server and AI-server orders, especially in Asia-Pacific and in price-sensitive mid-market deals that HPE also targets.

- 19h agoPOSITIVEPerché le azioni HPE stanno salendo oggi?
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) shares surged 5% on Wednesday following the announcement of a significant $1.2 billion order from Vultr for AMD Helios AI Rack systems. This landmark deal marks the first order for the new AMD Helios system, positioning HPE as a key supplier for AMD's latest rack-scale AI platform. The scope of the order includes network infrastructure, liquid cooling solutions, and deployment services.

- 17d agoNEGATIVELe azioni HPE calano dell'8% lunedì: ecco perché
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) shares experienced an 8% decline on Monday following an analyst downgrade from Evercore ISI. The brokerage firm shifted its rating from 'Outperform' to 'Neutral', citing the stock's substantial recent rally and a now more balanced risk-reward profile. Despite maintaining a $65 price target, Evercore's assessment suggests that the significant year-to-date gains, which have far outpaced the S&P 500, may have priced in much of the company's positive outlook. Investors are advised to note the shift in analyst sentiment as a potential indicator of limited further upside in the short term.
- 28d agoNEGATIVEHP Enterprise scivola nel pre-market in scia ai ricavi trimestrali in crescita ma deludenti
Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares fell approximately 4% in pre-market trading following the release of its quarterly results. Despite an upward revision to its earnings forecast, the company reported disappointing revenue growth. This suggests that while cost management and future outlook are positive, the core business's top-line performance is not meeting market expectations. Investors will be closely watching for signs of improved sales momentum in upcoming quarters to justify the stock's current valuation.
