kemble, RE: Truth: operating profit 1% of revenues. and that was hp's largest profit for the group. it maintained profitability by having 1% profit on sales. it appears that hp is trying to have big market share- but is making virtually nothing in pcs. yet, dell sells about as much as hp- has same market share- and makes a decent profit not just 1% on sales. if dell reduces prices by $5 or $10 a computer, hp will have no profit if it matches dell. And if Dell expensed options, they wouldn't have any profit, either.
