I bought XAM:CA (Canadian stock) at $0.045 & HPQ:CA (Canadian stock) at $1.54 today. XAM went up 13% today. HPQ went up 16% today. XAM is currently mining with the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation. HPQ has the low-cost manufacturing technology for Next-Generation Lithium-ion Batteries.

HPQ Silicon. Fumed Silica, Batteries, Hydrogen. Three strong silos.
HPQ under $20 is literally free money
Generally speaking yes if you take the average of 5yr, but you are counting COVID, and that's just ansmall part of the story. If you think about YoY, HPQ had positive revenue just last year 2025, driven by AI PC push (new OmniBook/EliteBook lines at CES 2026 could help). The company still generates serious cash (~$2.9B FCF in 2025, similar expected in 2026), the ~6% dividend + buybacks. Dirt-cheap valuation (~6-7x FCF, EV/Sales ~0.55x vs. historical average). If PC demand stabilizes or AI upgrades kick in, it could surprise to the upside (analyst targets average ~$29, implying 40-50%+ from current ~$19-20 levels). Remember the renewing cycles are longer now, not exactly the company fault, but are still going to happen in some waves, when some significant requirements arise, for example, Windows 10 support just died and Windows 11 requirements are much higher.. HPQ is also investing in some new technologies and even trying to sell some cloud services.
Why am I buying HPQ like a madman
I'm just going to wait to see what happens for earnings instead of playing them. Cause it seems like whenever a stock goes down on earnings it will just bounce back in hours or the next day (MRVL, HPQ) provided it isn't an outrageously overvalued megacap like Broadcom or Oracle.
HPQ Silicon…check it out. Leading battery technology.
Helped my elderly aunt harvest nice “losses” on Hershey, Comcast and HPQ in 2025. The cost-basis of all three had reset following her husband’s death a couple of years ago. Sold when prices dipped in fall but all were net gains from original purchase prices. These really helped with offsetting the gains of a couple of high-turnover mutual funds that (combined with a rollover RMD) were creating onerous tax drag for her. Of those three, we set a standing order to rebuy only Hershey if the price gets close to what it was sold at.
Calls on HPQ ⬛◼️◾⬛◼️◾⬛◼️◾⬛◼️◾⬛◼️◾
HPQ was included in the post, ive said they are likely to feel the same pain... but there doesnt seem to be much meat on the bones. (ATL price and <9 PE) compare that to Dell being much closer to their ATH and PE of 16)
What about HPQ? They are possibly even more exposed.
HPQ announces layoffs, mentions AI like a hundred times and their stock still sinks 😂😂😂😂 what a shithole company
This reads like the classic mature-hardware playbook: cut heads, talk about "efficiency," guide EPS a bit lower than the Street, and hope multiple compression does not get worse. A few things jump out: First, if they are cutting 4k-6k jobs on a base of roughly 50-60k employees, that is high single digit percent of the workforce. You do not do that if you think this is just a short, cyclical wobble in PC/printer demand. That is a structural signal, not a timing signal. Second, the fact that they are lowering 2026 EPS *despite* cost cuts tells you more than the press release spin. When management is actively reducing the denominator (employees) and still cannot hit prior EPS expectations, it implies they see either weaker pricing power, lower volumes, or sustained higher costs from regulation and supply chain workarounds. Probably some mix of all three. Third, on the "regulations" angle. Blaming US trade rules and China-related workarounds is not crazy, that stuff really does raise frictional costs. But it is also a very convenient story to avoid saying "our legacy businesses are commoditized and under competitive pressure." I would want to see how their gross margin trajectory compares to peers like Dell and Lenovo before I buy the idea that this is mostly about government policy rather than industry structure. From an investing lens, HP at this stage is basically a capital return / financial engineering story, not a growth story. You are underwriting: 1) Flat to slightly declining revenues in PCs/printers over time. 2) Management defending margins with periodic cost programs like this. 3) Free cash flow shoveled into buybacks and dividends so your per-share numbers look respectable even if the top line is stagnant. That can work as a thesis if you are buying at a low enough multiple. Cash cows can be good investments. The risk is that you model a "slow fade" and reality turns into a "faster fade." If unit volumes or pricing erode a few points faster than you baked in, the terminal value that justifies your current purchase can evaporate quietly over a few years. One thing I would watch: how aggressive they get on buybacks relative to the balance sheet and the cycling of the PC market. HP has a history of leaning pretty hard on repurchases. In a structurally challenged business, that is fine as long as leverage does not creep up just as the industry hits another downdraft. I am not saying HP is uninvestable. It can be a reasonable value / yield play if you accept what it is. But reading this, it reinforces the idea that you are not buying "PC growth" or "AI PC upside". You are buying a managed decline where the game is extracting cash faster than the business decays. Curious if anyone here has updated numbers on HPQ's current FCF yield and net leverage, and how that stacks against Dell on a like-for-like basis. That seems like the real comparison set for this kind of news.
Many people are actually buying it. Just look at the volume and below I will leave a technical analysis: Why HPQ is a Buy (Technical + Macro): Market rotating into value/defensive names HPQ is in a clean uptrend above 50/200 MA Multi-month volatility squeeze → breakout Strong volume gap above = fast upside potential Macro indicators (rising VIX, weak breadth, high P/E compression risk in tech) favor stable cash-flow stocks Options flow shows institutional accumulation via put-selling and call-buying Perfect for income strategies (covered calls, PMCC, synthetic longs) Targets: • Short-term: $34–35 • Medium-term: $38–40 • Long-term: $45+ if trend continues Risk: • Break below $27 breaks the trend structure
HPQ - profitable company 14 billion dollar quarterly revenue. Market cap? 22 billion. Stock? Trash. Market is a casino
HPQ cut 6,000 jobs, but they raised their dividend by 3%. Nice to know that they have their priorities straight.
I didn't even know HPQ employed 6,000 people.
HPQ not having a fun AH session.
You should take a look at HPQ Silicon. They’re reinventing how silicon and fumed silica are made, cleaner, cheaper, and way more efficient than the old processes. This matters because silicon is essential for batteries, solar, EVs, and electronics. They’re not just talking, they’ve already produced commercial-grade material, and the Canadian government has backed them financially, which says a lot. With huge EV and battery plants being built here, Canada needs local suppliers, HPQ is positioned right in that gap. In short: big market, real tech, government support, and massive upside.

Depends on how you want to play it. Personally I use LEAPS to add leverage to low IV stocks or ETFs. I've found XME, XLU and GDX to be great. I also love using LEAPS on dividend stocks, because although you dont get the dividend, the dividends effects on the extrinsic value is such that you can buy LEAPS with basically no theta, which in turn means you can aggressively sell against them, knowing at any point you can exercise for close to nothing and allow the shares to be called away and start again. BTI, CSCO and HPQ have been solid choices with that tactic for me, although it should work with any dividend stock you like that pays over 4-ish% yield.

That's such a low IQ take. That amounts to little more than an assembly line and could be setup in India or any Southeast Asian country that wants to play ball. There's cheap labor all over the world, but sourcing HPQ is not so easy.

Yes TSLA's market cap = GM + UBER + ORCL + INTC + HPQ + another $150B for fun, but unfortunately YOU are the regarded one.
How would you guess this will affect HPQ, Dell? They’re cheap (hp is around 23 bucks down 20%).
That silicon also relies on HPQ from the US for the most part. 70-90% of the world supply is from a single mine in NC.
I lost it all in HPQ puts, took a nap cuz dead from work, had a dream in was negative in Robinhood, woke up to a giant red shit streak on my screen. Gotta rethink how I handle these upcoming changes.

Like most wheel traders I'm all over the board, but I do follow the rules of only trading stocks I will be good holding if needed. I move between mostly blue chips like VZ, HPQ, MET, T, F, GM (typically either F or GM but not both), PFE, CSCO, BMY and MO and others as I'm always looking for profitable companies to add.
>I seem to regularly pick a good trade, the unrealized profit shoots up but I tend to wait too long to close and then the profit goes down before I close it >How can I protect the gains but still get the upside? I often ran into the same type of problems, and this was my solution. I typically purchase ITM LEAPS, but this philosophy should be applicable to everything besides extremely short dated options. The trick is to consistently roll out winners for a credit. Let me go through an example: * 1/17/24 - I buy the HPQ 28c (basically ATM) with \~520 DTE for $4.20 * 3/12/24 - Small run up in HPQ, so I roll my 28c out to the 30c, collecting a $1.10 credit, maintaining most of my long exposure * 5/22/24 - Much bigger run up, I roll my 30c out to the 32c for $1.12. Net risk is now less than half of my original position, and my long exposure is about the same * 6/6/24 - Towards the end of the same run up, I roll my 32c out to 35 for $1.65, just slightly ITM. Net risk is now $0.33, over a 90% reduction in risk * 7/10/24 - Start of another smaller run up, I roll my 35c out to 37 for $0.90. Slightly OTM, but at this point it is a risk free position. I have collected more credits than I originally paid for the option, so it could expire worthless, and I would still pocket $60 or so in profit * 7/15/24 - At this point, I have 340 days left in the option (345 when I rolled into it). I can no longer receive LTCG for this position, so I roll my Jun 37c to the Dec 40c for a small credit, giving me a nice long-term risk-free position with over 500 DTE By consistently rolling my long option out in strike whenever the underlying moved significantly in my favor, I was able to reduce my risk completely, all while maintaining my desired exposure in the underlying. And I gave up a very small amount of potential upside gains by doing so. Keep in mind, this is only for managing your winners. Managing losers is a different conversation
You're thinking of HPQ, a totally different company.
If youre playing Hewlett Packard, mind the ticker! HPE has earnings not HPQ. However will both rise and fall together?
AAPL PE is the most misunderstood metric. Last quarter they had a one-off 10B tax charge to EU. Their profits for the year would be closer to 105B adding back one-off charge. That puts their PE below 35. If you think AAPL PE is still too high, it's because AAPL is still a cyclical company. The PC industry (computer hardware and consumer devices) have a cycle. If you think AAPL's flat revenue is bad, it's because you're missing the context of the past couple of years. HPQ revenues dropped in 2022 and 2023 and flat 2024. Dell (even with AI boom) saw 7% 2022, -13% 2023 and 3% 2024. Asus revenues dropped 2022 and 2023 with recovery in 2024. Why does this matter? It means AAPL revenues being flat in 2022, 2023 and 2024 is an outperformance versus the average. The PC upgrade cycle is around 4 years. The last major upgrade was in 2021 where AAPL revenues rose by 29%. If we have another upgrade cycle in 2025-2026 then AAPL PE ratio drops to 26.
I am so tired of debt. I sold 50K of HPQ today and I am going to kill everything but the mortgage. The mortgage is next.
Also don’t confuse HPQ with HPE
Apparently a lot of people don’t understand that HPQ and HPE are two different companies

Before you blindly follow Buffett, reminder he bought total losers like HPQ and panic sold at a loss.
PYR and HPQ are definitely two stocks to keep an eye on.
that's often the case on low volume stocks. I get this on HPQ often and I find if I go further out it's less likely to trigger market movements. Generally I would suggest doing a CC 30DTE or more at a reasonable price. keep rolling it forward so that it's always greater than 21 DTE out to discourage getting called away early.
Silica will be use by HPQ Silicon.
Yes. Thanks for asking. I got word last night that all friends and their families are ok, but there's still a ton of clean up to be done for the town. What tourism spruce pine had is gonna be gone for a while. On the HPQ side, the mines are fine, the production is fine, but transportation is still iffy and you might see some job openings as people had some major damage done to their homes and downtown. That said, it wont be easy for locals to get a better paying job in the area, and a lot of people that live up there will swear up and down that they couldn't live anywhere else. This isn't financial advice, but as I see it this is a couple weeks of disruption to production, followed by a period of time that has more challenging and expensive shipping (small truck over rail). If the headlines are spooky enough, it could be an opportunity.
I have to imagine you sold CAPR calls for a massive profit? I just texted my brother the my profit % on CAPR & TIGR (which I happened to find in a top "Top miday gainers" list researching CAPR) both over 120%, both owned for only 2-3 days. Shoot, even your lowest priced stock from one of your recent posts, LODE, my mid November calls are up 200%+ (only cost 7$ish each think). My only regret is not buying more (Ironically, that's what a broker would say as they are trying to close someone on a deal over the phone) 😂 They were already up a ton when I bought in, but if someone is able to find just 1 out of 100 stocks that goes up +100% in a short period of time (if you invested the same amount on all 100) its a huge achievement, you sir have had an insanely high success rate. When I catch onto one of these early (have been dealing with knee surgeries & the BS that follows, so I haven't been checking nearly enough) if that happens, I hope there is a way I can compensate you for putting in the work so that people like me who would've never even had a clue about these, now have the opportunity to decide based on great information provided to us! ** I see SMMT went up 2.5% today, but since its initial explosion, it felt like a "catch a falling knife" situation. Even the companies that assume coverage on SMMT seem to change their price target quite often. Now, SMMT popped off based on phenomenal news. From what I see on Fidelity, it's been growing nicely in the last 5 years (surprisingly high SI). If I were to buy calls on this, I think the earliest exp date would be December but more likely early-mid 2025. Is this how you would play it? I know the stocks that get even a hint of bullish news & have a 2-3 day squeeze & return to being a dumpster fire are either good for 1 week calls followed by puts (Insert FFIE) or not buying options altogether. *** I write a lot, I apologize. I am sure you get tons of DM's & I don't want to take any time away from you in a back n forth conversation as you have already generously spent enough time providing us with your research & updates. My question is, what are your criteria for buying options on a stock as opposed to just owning a stock (putting aside IV, volume & open interest)? I know that if you reply, it's not in any way financial advice. I just love learning & I want to get a better understanding of the types of strategies that go into buying options on these of stocks. I'm comfortable buying options. I'm mad at myself for selling a PLTR $36.5 & $37 call 2 days ago while at the same time not selling a HPQ 36$ put the day it was -4.75% earlier this week & sold all 3 for much less than I could've, SHOULD'VE*** (Sorry, post surgery throws me off my game everytime). I still have multiple PLTR calls expiring 12/20 ranging from 36-40$ SP which have been going up nicely, so I can't complain about a profitable week. Losing "potential" profit is a habit I'm improving on slowly which stems from when I gambled & I would have a big win that I enjoyed for 1 second followed by "why didn't I bet more!?!?!" Sorry for the book I wrote. Hopefully, the questions in the chapter "I write a lot, I appologize" make sense, and you are able to find them amongst my rambling. As usual, Thank you again for your help and throughly written out thesis based on well done DD!
Ordinary people wouldn't notice it until they see a shortage of semiconductors and solar panels everywhere. HPQ is essential for the production of high-grade silicon, which undergirds the entire semiconductor industry. It would take years to shift to processed quartz, which we don't have the necessary infrastructure to scale up because HPQ is so much cheaper to obtain.
Sigh...the problem is not with the semiconductor companies. It's with the quartz mines. It's irrelevant whether "any moron in the industry has a backup plan" on the demand side. What matters is whether the supply side can adjust production and refinement rates upwards. This tends to be hard as mining companies have fixed capex and specialized asset inventories that can't be acquired off the shelf. Let's assume the worst-case scenario - the area around Spruce Pine is flooded and the mines are offline for an indeterminate period of time in the future. This shouldn't be a big issue. After all, semi companies can simply reroute supply chains and temporarily from other mining companies. Is this true? No. Let's look at raw annual production of high purity quartz sand (HPQ) among those leading companies: * Covia, subsidiary of Sibelco: 120-150k * TQC: 25-30k * Jiangsu Pacific Quartz: 15-20k Covia and TQC run the mines in spruce Pine, which accounts for 80-90% of HPQ world production. China will probably bar Pacific Quartz from selling any reserves to Western countries, given that China lacks large scale HPQ deposits. There are only a few producers of synthetic quartz that can meet the purity standards; the purification process to transform regular quartz into HPQ is cost-prohibitive. refine at necessary capacity to meet demand.
Hmmm, shocker that your insanely high IV stocks were hard to control using leverage. You know what works really well with PMCCs? HPQ, CSCO, KO, KHC. You add leverage to something that needs leverage in order to be feasible. You don't strap a rocket on the back of a McLaren and then complain that you keep hitting trees.
HPQ gonna bounce back soon because I just sold all calls
