Scenario calculator
Price target (simple) needs positive TTM EPS. Try Advanced (revenue) mode when earnings are negative.
Enter EPS growth and exit P/E per scenario. The chart starts at the current share price (Now) and transitions the P/E from today's trailing multiple toward your Exit P/E over the horizon. Same live price and TTM EPS as the rest of the page.
Annual diluted EPS
GAAP diluted earnings per share by fiscal year (from reported statements). Use it as context for the EPS growth assumptions in the scenario calculator above — not a forecast.
Across 14 fiscal years, diluted EPS went from about $-7.90 in 2012 to about $-0.04 in 2025.
Scale: -7.90 to 2.58 EPS; horizontal line at 0. Fiscal years with no row in the database are omitted.
Diluted EPS year-over-year change
Percent change vs the previous fiscal year in this series. If a fiscal year is missing in the database, the comparison is to the prior available year (not necessarily the prior calendar year).
Year-over-year EPS change in this window ranged from a high of +485.7% to a low of -132.5%.
Historical multiples
Each bar is the trailing five-year range (low left, high right). Gray fill from low to today; dot = today; amber tick = median. Low, median, and high are listed under each bar.

Frequently asked questions
How is HPE's price target calculated?
Price targets here use projected EPS × exit P/E. Future EPS = TTM EPS × (1 + growth)^years, then price = future EPS × P/E. The tool pre-fills analyst consensus and historical ranges for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) so you can compare your assumptions to the data.
What is HPE's base-case price target?
With about 20% annual EPS growth and a 10× exit P/E over 5 years based on consensus from 12 analysts, the base case for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) lands near $-5.21, implying roughly 0.0% CAGR. This is illustrative, not a forecast.
What P/E ratio should I use for HPE?
Defaults use the 5-year median P/E (about 9.9×) for the base case, the 25th percentile for bear and the 75th for bull. Adjust the Exit P/E sliders if you have a different valuation view.
What is HPE's expected return in this model?
Expected return depends on your assumptions. The calculator reports CAGR = (Future price / Current price)^(1/Years) − 1. This is illustrative only and not investment advice.
Is HPE's P/E high or low historically?
HPE currently trades at about 567.2× earnings, 5634.0% above its 5-year median of 9.9×. The historical multiples card shows the full 5- and 10-year range.
How fast has HPE's EPS grown over the past 5 years?
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) grew diluted EPS at about 20.2% per year over the trailing 5 fiscal years. Historical growth is one input; the bull and bear cases let you pressure-test what happens if the next 5 years differ.
What time horizon does the price target use?
The default horizon is 5 years; you can change it from 1 to 10 years. Longer horizons compound EPS growth and re-rating effects more strongly, so total returns become more sensitive to assumptions.
Is this a recommendation to buy or sell HPE?
No. The price-target calculator is an educational tool that turns explicit growth and P/E assumptions into a model price. Peers in the Technology sector are listed below for context. It is not investment advice and does not predict future returns.
