摘要

The relife at hewlett- packard co.'s palo alto head quarters was palpable. On Nov. 16, just 96 days removed from its biggest quarterly earnings miss in more than a decade, HP staffers celebrated the company's 2004 fourth-quarter results The 66-year-old technology giant had rebounded nicely, notching a 27% hike in profits, to $1.1 billion, while sales jumped 8%, to $21.4 billion. The market whooped it up, and HP's stock rose a solid 8% from its 19.68 close in after hours trading. But the next day, cheers gave way to sighs. Certainly the company picked up its performance from the disastrous third quarter. But investors were quick to probe the vulnerabilities behind the cheery numbers. They noted that HP continued to lear heavily on its superstar printing business while its mammoth PC and server businesses struggled to eke out profits. More unsettling, much of the profit growth stemmed from cuts in research and development, and from a lower tax rate. Without these savings, HP's profits would have climbed only 10%―not 27%. Analyst Laura Conigliaro of Goldman, Sachs & Co. wrote in a Nov. 17 research report that HP's results were "probably not quite as good as they seem on the surface." By the end of the day, all that HP stock had to show for its celebratory quarter was a measly bump of 52￠.
