Hewlett-Packard announced strong results for its fiscal 3Q 2010 in a conference call May 19, even as the company wrestled with the sudden departure of former CEO Mark Hurd.
Those results included net revenues of $30.7 billion, up 11.4 percent from the same quarter in 2009. Its Services, Enterprise Storage and Servers, HP Software, Personal Systems Group, and Imaging and Printing Group all experienced year-over-year increases in revenue. Overall, the company’s operating profit totaled $2.3 billion.
HP saw increased enterprise sales, suggesting that businesses are beginning to spend on IT infrastructure after several quarters of recession-related belt-tightening. Strength also apparently came from HP’s networking business.
The results announcement alluded to future products running both the Palm WebOS and Windows, but no further details were offered by executives.
