HP CEO Meg Whitman did not bring good news this time as well.
Revenue of HP fell 7 percent to $25.5 billion for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended April 30, 2015, while net income dropped 23 percent to $1 billion.
HP could not fight back during tough conditions and all its business divisions showed negative growth in terms of revenue in Q2.
However, the decline in the quarterly revenue of HP is line with the financial performance of IBM, one of the rivals of HP in the enterprise space. IBM last month said its net income dipped 5 percent in Q1 2015 to $2.4 billion, while revenue fell 12 percent to $19.6 billion.
On the other hand, Cisco, a key competitor of HP, said its Q3 revenue increased 5 percent to $12.1 billion, while net income grew 11.7 percent to $2.4 billion.
Meg Whitman, chairman, president and chief executive officer, HP, said: “Despite some tough challenges, we executed well across many parts of our portfolio, sustained our commitment to innovation, and delivered the results we said we would. HP is becoming stronger as we head into the second half of our fiscal year and separation in November.”
