    lol, $100k+… HP revenue in 2024 was $53,559,000k.

    Dell same year $88,000,000k and Lenovo $69,000,000k, so ~$50B to $90B

    I let you calculate the percentage but… I’d guesstimate it’s approximately nothing.

        Right… which… is why I wrote revenue and not operational profit? Was I unclear? What should I have shared instead? Please feel free to clarify directly with whatever you believe would be better and why, we can all learn.

            Were you not condescending? Don’t you believe you started this?

            You could have said :

            • Revenue is not precise enough, operational profit would be a better metric
            • Operational profit is more representative of the situation and for HP it’s [insert value]

            or basically anything that prompts a discussion by kindly clarifying.

            Instead you basically said “Apples are not oranges” and now you are saying replies are toxic.

          Revenue says basically nothing in this kind of context. HP’s earnings before taxes was 3 279m so 100k is well nothing.

            Genuinely confused now, are you saying “your nothing” is different from “my nothing”?

              I was really consufed by your chain of comments.

              You stated revenue, which doesn’t say anything about profit. Then you argue that that is true and say that is why you posted revenue.

              Which is why I posted the profit or HP of 2024
