The COVID-19 pandemic is obviously a tailwind for most companies. HP Inc. is obviously go to trade sideways below $20 for a long time.
HP Inc. will report its Q2 2020 earnings later today. Our HPQ stock forecast most likely predicts a drop even with an EPS and revenue beat.
The -12.3% decline in Q1 was due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This was because of shuttered Chinese factories during February-March period.
PC sales will still suffer year-over-year declines for most of this year. Many companies are retrenching employees instead of adopting work-from-home.

Activist investor Carl Icahn bought a $1.19 billion stake in HP Inc. He also owns 10.6% stake in Xerox. Icahn is now orchestrating a Xerox takeover attempt of HPQ.
It might be profitable to buy HPQ on a bet that Xerox will increase its $22 cash + stock initial bid for each HPQ share.
Majority of HPQ stakeholders might agree to a deal if Xerox will increase its bid to $26.
The other scenario is HP, Inc. will instead offer an all-stock bid to acquire Xerox. HP Inc. has tried before before to buy Xerox.
Whatever happens, HP Inc. does not really need Xerox. It already owns the laser printer/copier business of Samsung.

HP, Inc. makes most of its profits from its printing business, not PC sales.
Investors should always give more weigh on how the printing industry is doing rather focus too much on quarterly PC sales performance.
HPQ is a consistent dividend payer and has strong history of doing share buybacks.
Compared to its sector and industry peers, HP Inc. is still relatively undervalued
My 10 Year EBITDA EXIT DCF Valuation model shows HPQ has 38% upside potential.
