HPE Shares Push Higher Ahead of Earnings as AI Server Demand Looks Broader
HPE jumped 5.1% premarket to $45.27 ahead of fiscal Q2 results due after the bell, following Dell’s AI server surge and HPE’s launch of a ProLiant server using Nvidia’s Vera CPU. HPE reported a $5B+ AI backlog in March, guided Q2 revenue to $9.6–$10B, and raised its 2026 earnings target. Investors await updates on backlog, server sales, and Juniper unit as supply remains tight and high prices persist into 2027.
