Though HP still has the biggest marker share in UNIX server, but HP's growth in UNIX server is also much slower than SUN, COMPAQ based on you guy's post. What really matter to the stock price is the future growth, isn't it. Does HP has good new model? As far as I know, SUN's high end server has extremely high profit margin (more than 50%, which is as profitable as CSCO's router) and could enjoy less competition from the potential NT 5.0. SUN has this high-end server and Java; IBM has strong service branch and new mainframe model. Thus, they all enjoy good multiples. After reading all the posts here, it seems no one is identifying any "newness" from HP. Do I miss anything? If you do a technical analysis on HP's stock price, you just don't see any bottoming (no increase volume in any reversal day and volume pick up in every down day). Risky stock. Wish all of you good trading/investing.
