HP Q4 in Line With Pre-announcement; Repeats Guidance

Hewlett-Packard’s fiscal fourth-quarter results, reported this afternoon, were pretty much just as expected from its pre-announcement from last week. The company posted revenue of $33.6 billion in the quarter, for a profit of $1.03 a share. Revenue results across its sectors were mixed–the biggest revenue growth happening in the Notebook and Storage sectors. Guidance for 2009 remains as forecast last week.
