Printing out-earns PCs on a quarter of sales
Printing earns $709M on $3.9B of sales, more than the far larger PC business, as supplies keep selling after the printer.
For investorsWhat HP's profit depends on from here
For foundersWhat a hardware company can take from the printing model
Prices rose sharply while units fell 15.8%, so revenue grew but the PC margin still narrowed to 4.6%.
A $137M tax charge replaced last year's $139M benefit, so stronger operations ended in lower net earnings.
HP took 151 days to pay suppliers, up from 138, so higher component costs raised cash rather than consuming it.
