这家“土生土长”的硅谷公司将离开硅谷

这家公司表示,已经在美国第四大城市休斯顿建造了一个“最先进”的新园区。

慧与公司(Hewlett Packard Enterprise)计划将其总部从加利福尼亚州圣何塞迁至休斯顿。分拆之前的惠普是硅谷的创始公司之一。多年来,随着从事移动和基于互联网的计算的新兴企业的崛起,慧与在科技行业的主导地位逐渐减弱。

该公司表示,其已经在美国第四大城市休斯顿建造了一个“最先进”的新园区。慧与还公布了超出分析师预期的季度营收,表明企业在新冠疫情期间正在升级数据中心的硬件。

惠普公司(Hewlett-Packard Co.)是湾区顶级的科技公司之一,于1939年在帕洛阿尔托的一间车库中创办,于2015年拆分成立了慧与。由于疫情迫使员工在任何地方都可以办公,许多个人和公司都选择离开这个以高生活成本、通勤困难而著称的地区,慧与经过广泛的重新评估准备迁到得克萨斯州。

慧与的首席执行官安东尼奥•内里一直在试图扭转公司的颓势。慧与是一家服务器、存储硬件和网络设备制造商。自其从个人电脑生产商惠普拆分以来,除一个季度外,该公司的收入一直在下滑。内里正在降低公司的管理成本,退出不盈利的业务,试图在混合云市场占据一席之地。在混合云市场中,企业将一部分信息在企业数据中心存储和处理,而另一部分则通过公共云公司进行。

截至10月31日的季度销售额与去年同期相比变化不大,为72亿美元。根据彭博社(Bloomberg)收集的数据,分析师估计的平均值为69亿美元。慧与于12月1日在一份声明中表示,不计入某些项目,第四财季的收益为每股37美分。分析师此前预计的是每股34美分。

新冠疫情的蔓延及其引发的经济衰退抑制了对网络、计算机硬件和服务的需求。现在公司已经安排许多员工远程工作,他们正在投资设备从而提高办公效率。

内里在声明中表示:“全球疫情迫使企业重新考虑一切事情,无论是远程办公和协作,还是业务连续性和数据洞察力。我们的整体营收出现了明显反弹,尤其是在我们业务的关键增长领域。”

第四财季销售额较前一财季增长6%。慧与预计,不计入某些项目,本季度收益将为40美分至44美分。相比之下,彭博社收集的数据显示,分析师的平均预期为35美分。该公司表示,销售将较前一季下降约中间个位数左右百分比的幅度,符合正常的季节性规律。若下降5%,则销售额约为68.4亿美元。相比之下,分析师的平均预期为66.3亿美元。

首席执行官内里在与分析师的电话会议上表示,公司将把技术创新中心保留在圣何塞一座相对较新的大楼里。行政工作将集中在得州新总部。他说,整合加州比较昂贵的中心将节省房地产成本。

慧与在声明中表示,此举与裁员无关。据得州州长格雷格•阿博特办公室的一份声明称,该公司在得克萨斯州的几个城市设有办事处,包括奥斯汀和普莱诺,在休斯顿有2,600多名员工。

慧与的股价在纽约证交所盘后交易中几乎没有变化,收盘报11.20美元。股价今年下降了29%。(财富中文网)

Hewlett Packard Enterprise, one of the founding companies of Silicon Valley, plans to relocate its headquarters to Houston from San Jose, Calif., following years of waning technology-industry dominance that came with the rise of newer businesses focused on mobile and internet-based computing.

The company said it was already building a “state-of-the-art” new campus in Houston, the fourth-largest U.S. city. HPE also reported quarterly revenue that topped analysts’ predictions, suggesting that businesses are upgrading their data-center hardware during the coronavirus pandemic.

HPE was created in the 2015 split of one of the consummate Bay Area technology companies, Hewlett-Packard Co., which was founded in 1939 in a Palo Alto garage. The move to Texas comes amid a broader re-evaluation, motivated by pandemic-enforced work-from-anywhere arrangements, by individuals and companies who are opting to leave behind a region known for its high cost of living and difficult commute.

Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri has been working to turn around HPE, a maker of servers, storage hardware and networking gear, which had reported declining revenue in all but one quarter since separating from personal-computer maker HP Inc. Neri is reducing the company’s overhead costs, exiting unprofitable businesses and chasing the hybrid-cloud market, in which businesses store and process some of their information in corporate data centers and some with public cloud companies.

Sales in the quarter ended Oct. 31 were little changed from a year ago at $7.2 billion. Analysts, on average, estimated $6.9 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Profit, excluding some items, was 37 cents a share in the fiscal fourth quarter, HPE said on December 1 in a statement. Analysts had projected 34 cents.

The spread of Covid-19 and the economic slowdown it triggered had suppressed demand for networking and computer hardware and services. Now that companies have settled into remote work for many employees, they’re investing in gear to make that more efficient.

“The global pandemic has forced businesses to rethink everything from remote work and collaboration to business continuity and data insight,” Neri said in the statement. “We saw a notable rebound in our overall revenue, with particular acceleration in key growth areas of our business.”

Fiscal fourth-quarter sales increased 6% from the prior period. In the current quarter, HPE projected that profit, excluding some items, will be 40 cents to 44 cents. That compares with an average analyst prediction of 35 cents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company said sales will decline from the preceding period at a percentage in the mid-single digits, in line with normal seasonal patterns. A decline of 5% would indicate sales of about $6.84 billion. That compares with an average analyst estimate of $6.63 billion.

The company will keep its technology innovation hub in San Jose, at a relatively new building, CEO Neri said on a conference call with analysts. Administrative work will be centered at the new Texas headquarters. Consolidating more expensive facilities in California will lead to real estate cost savings, he said.

No staff reductions are associated with the move, HPE said in the statement. The company has locations in several cities in Texas, including Austin and Plano, and has more than 2,600 workers in Houston, according to a statement from the office of Governor Greg Abbott.

HPE shares were little changed in extended trading after closing at $11.20 in New York. They have declined 29% this year.
