Hewlett-Packard Split

Corporate Breakups and Divestitures

In 2015 the technology company Hewlett-Packard split into two separate publicly traded companies, HP Inc., which took the personal computer and printer businesses, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which took the corporate hardware, software and services businesses. The split was intended to let each company pursue its own strategy and cost structure in markets that had come to require very different approaches.
