... and it looks like Wall Street will be very pleased, so forget about Meg leaving any time soon. Our overall results will be better than expected. Too bad we're not here to win, but to be sold in chunks to the higher bidders...

Hmmm... Interesting... One of my old peers also told me that Meg was going to announce the acquisition of a small "high ranking" Networking start up. Probably she hold on that in order to take the attention of the press out of the Q4 crappy results in a few weeks. That would actually make sense...
On the anniversary of their split, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. HPE, -0.92% and HP Inc. HPQ, -2.45% dropped together Tuesday afternoon after revealing fiscal fourth-quarter earnings. HPE, which focuses on sales to businesses, came in well below its forecast for net income, at $300 million, or 18 cents a share; the company had said it expected earnings of 44 cents to 49 cents a share. After adjustments, HPE claimed profit of 61 cents a share, which was within its forecasted range and a penny more than analysts' expectations, on revenue of $12.5 billion. Analysts expected HPE to report adjusted earnings of 60 cents a share on sales of $12.8 billion, according to FactSet.
Nice try, who is this Alan May or one of his HR cronies trying to put a spin on this sinking ship.
@1enx can you elaborate?
HPE will announce an acquisition.
How can Wall Street not be pleased. Each time they hear the word "layoff" they celebrate, and reward companies big time.
