HPQ on the PC market

In the commercial side, we expect to continue to see two major drivers of growth. One is the Windows 11 refresh and second is AI PCs. In Windows 11, year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, we see an improvement in the funnel, meaning the funnel at the beginning of Q4 is higher than it was at the beginning of Q3 and also bigger than what it was at the beginning of Q4 last year. And Windows 11 is playing a key role there.

Second, what is also very important to assess long-term sales, when we look at where are we in the cycle, our estimate is that slightly more than 50% of the installed base has been converted to Windows 11, which means there is still going to be a positive impact, not only in Q4, but also in the earlier quarters of next year. And this is why we think the demand for PCs is going to continue in Q4. We projected that the growth of PCs will be mid-single digits for the second half and that there will be growth in fiscal year '26.
