# HP Inc.: Competitors & Industry Structure

## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies HP Inc. under SIC code 3570 (Computer & office Equipment). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 2 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, HP Inc. ranks 2 of 3. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

## How Does HP Inc. Compare With Its Peers?

| Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [IBM (IBM)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/ibm/) | $67.5 billion FY2025 | 7.6% | n/a | 15.7% |
| **HP Inc. (HPQ)** | $55.3 billion FY2025 | 3.2% | 5.7% | 4.6% |
| [Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/hewlett-packard-enterprise/) | $34.3 billion FY2025 | 13.8% | -1.3% | 0.2% |

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value HP Inc. reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000047217-25-000071 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
