SAN FRANCISCO — Hewlett-Packard chief executive Leo Apotheker delivered some disappointing news to Wall Street on Tuesday after his first full quarter with the technology company.
Revenue growth, a persistent worry for companies of HP’s size, will be slower this year than many analysts had envisioned. HP said after the market closed that its net income jumped 16 percent to $2.61 billion, or $1.17 per share, in the three months ended Jan. 31. A year ago, it earned $2.25 billion, or 93 cents per share. The results beat expectations from analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue rose 4 percent to $32.30 billion.
