At a PE of 8 for example 3.4 eps x 8 would mean 27.4 a share for HPQ yet its down to under 15 now.

OR am I reading something wrong?

Meanwhile, Hewlett-Packard Company's (NYSE: HPQ ) CEO Meg Whitman announced that company was lowering its earnings forecast for fiscal 2013. The announcement dragged the company's share price to a nine year low. Whitman further added that except software, earnings from all other businesses might fall. H-P's shares plunged 13% to close at $14.91 yesterday. The company anticipates adjusted earnings in the range of $3.40 to $3.60 per share for fiscal 2013.

In my opinion HPQ has the same problem AAPL had back before Jobs took over. HPQ has too many products. Look at their printers for instance. They have an HP Printer 6500, 6510, 6515, 6520...literally a thousand different printers that all basically do the same job. They need to do the same thing apple did. Get rid of everything and focus on about 10 products. There is no reason to come out with 50 different types of printers every year. Last quarter they had 30 billion of income and 38 billion of expenses. How does that happen?

Personally I think HPQ has been defering expenses for a while and needed to start reporting them last quarter. Who knows how much they have deferred over the years. Maybe thats why those board members are fighting so much. They might be in more trouble than we all know. Might be an overnight crash of HPQ one day if the truth came out.
