(Reuters) -HP Inc on Tuesday forecast first-quarter profit below Wall Street estimates but maintained its annual earnings outlook, a sign that demand in the personal computers market is still recovering.<\/p>\n

Companies such as HP (NYSE:), Lenovo and Dell Technologies (NYSE:) have seen demand ease from peaks hit during the pandemic, when work-from-home trends drove up sales of laptops and other electronic devices.<\/p>\n

HP expects first-quarter adjusted profit per share to be in the range of 76 cents to 86 cents, the midpoint of which was lower than analysts’ average estimate of 86 cents, according to LSEG data.<\/p>\n

Shares of the Palo Alto, California-based company were down more than 4% after the bell.<\/p>\n

The company said it is on track to launch its AI PCs in the second half of next year and expects its penetration to increase gradually.<\/p>\n

“Don’t think the market will immediately shift to AI PCs, we think there will be some penetration in ’24 and stronger in ’25,” Chief Executive Enrique Lores said in a media call.<\/p>\n

Recent earnings at major PC chipmakers, including Intel (NASDAQ:) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:), have also signaled that more than a two-year long slump in the market could be nearing an end as demand picks up ahead of the holiday season and an expected Windows update next year from Microsoft (NASDAQ:).<\/p>\n

HP maintained its fiscal 2024 adjusted profit forecast range of $3.25 to $3.65 per share.<\/p>\n

Its revenue for the fourth quarter stood at $13.82 billion, slightly lower than LSEG estimates of $13.85 billion.<\/p>\n

“Continue to see weak demand in China both across consumer and commercial and at this point we don’t expect that to change,” Lores said.<\/p>\n

Sales for HP’s personal systems segment \u2014 home to its desktop and notebook PCs \u2014 fell 8% from a year ago, while its printing segment posted a 3% fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
