HP Profit Up!

Hewlett-Packard Co. did very well in this third quarter earnings report. HP reported that they earned $2.03 billion, or 80 cents per share.  They even shattered Wall Street’s expectations.  HP’s laptop sales and a robust international presence are what pulled them through.  Right now there still the leading provider of personal computers, mostly because of their low cost.  But that might soon changes because of the rising cost of supplies.  They won’t be able to remain at the current profit margin.  I wonder if HP will shift toward cheaper PCs just like the other PC makers.  If they do they will be in the same boat with the rest of the PC makers.

Wholesale Inflation!

For the month of July wholesale inflation rose up by amazing 1.2 percent. Which in turn is making this the fastest rise in 27 years. The main reason for this is the high energy and other related costs. The expected rate increase in this are is around .02 to .05 percent, not 1.2 percent. The good news is that oil prices have dropped by more than $30 per barrel since then. And this only means the rising inflation will come down soon.
