Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company
HPE separated from HP in 2015 to specialize on the enterprise side of the business (not PCs or printers) which can be summed up in their reporting segments: Servers, Hybrid Cloud, Networking, and Financial Services. The company believes their strategy of offering edge-to-cloud solutions offers a comprehensive portfolio which is enhanced by the acquisition of Juniper Networks to better serve diverse needs in the growing and competitive data center market.
Net Debt/Cap includes cash, financing receivables, short and long-term debt, and deferred revenues.
Quarterly EPS are as reported non-GAAP EPS to HPE but my trailing EPS is to common shareholders (after preferred dividends).
