BofA keeps buy rating on HPE stock ahead of Sept. 30 investor day, sees 40% upside

Bank of America has reiterated its buy rating on Hewlett Packard Enterprise ahead of the company's networking investor day on 30 September. Analyst Wamsi Mohan maintained an $88 price target, representing roughly 40% upside from recent levels. HPE shares have more than doubled this year following the company's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks in July. The deal transformed networking into HPE's fastest-growing segment, with third-quarter networking revenue jumping 74.9% to $2.9 billion. Bank of America expects the data centre networking market to grow about 40% annually through 2030, up from HPE's earlier 15% estimate. The firm projects HPE's networking revenue will compound at 15% to 20% yearly. However, BofA's model shows free cash flow potentially dipping to $2.75 billion in fiscal 2028 as capital spending rises sharply.

The order extends HPE's relationship with Vultr and Juniper Networks following HPE's 2025 acquisition of Juniper. Vultr CEO J.J. Kardwell said demand for high-performance AI infrastructure "continues to outpace available capacity." HPE stock has gained over 150% this year.
