This is very interesting. In July, HWP guided analysts for lower expectation. Before this, street was expecting 62 cents. So looking at this, did HWP beat the estimates?? In earnings news, Hewlett-Packard tacked on 2 1/2 to 55 1/4. After the close of trading, the benchmark computer manufacturer said it netted 58 cents a share in its fiscal third quarter, matching the year-ago figure. On July 21, HP guided analysts to expect profits to come in below Wall Street's estimate of 62 cents. Since then, analysts had revised their forecast down to the present 54 cents.
