Hewlett-Packard Company is ready to pursue growth, having made considerable operational gains in recent years, but the ongoing investigations into questionable methods it employed to identify the board member who was leaking information to the media could prove to be a distraction.
Hewlett-Packard is a global provider of personal systems, imaging and printing products and technology solutions. The company has a strong market position in most of its product segments. Hewlett-Packard wrested market leadership from Dell in the global PC market in the third quarter of 2006 and managed to sustain it in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The company is the second largest entity in the servers market behind International Business Machines. Also, Hewlett-Packard is the dominant entity in the printers market. Hewlett-Packard has a strong balance sheet, reflected in low long-term debt and high cash reserves.
The R&D spend of Hewlett-Packard has remained flat in recent years. This could hurt the growth prospects of the company. Hewlett-Packard is primarily focused on improving its operational efficiency. The company is in the midst of an ambitious overhaul of its IT systems, which it hopes will serve as a showcase for its capabilities.
