Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started in a Palo Alto garage in 1939 with an audio oscillator, and that garage is a California historic landmark. The modern company dates to 2015, when Hewlett-Packard split: HP Inc. took personal systems and printing, while the enterprise assets went to a separate company. Printing supplies carry the margins, which is why the business fights aftermarket cartridges, and the PC line spans consumer through commercial workstations. HP is headquartered in Palo Alto and sells through retail and channel partners in most of the world.

HP equity questions
- How much HPQ stock is too much?
- There is no single threshold, but the larger the share of your net worth in one stock, the more a single bad year can set back your plans. The calculator above quantifies the drawdown impact at 30, 50, and 70 percent for your HPQ position and weighs selling down (which triggers capital-gains tax now) against hedging (which costs option premium).
- Does HP grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at HP typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do HP RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. HP restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
