- HP says he’s on the right track to stop work in China
- The computer giant will interrupt production in China to avoid Trump prices
- HP also reveals price increases to cope with higher rates than expected
HP Inc revealed that it was almost done with its release from China while the Trump administration prices continue to allocate the largest companies.
Speaking during his last call for results of T2 2025, the president and chief executive officer of the company Enrique Lores said that he had “accelerated” his decision not to have products in the United States, made in China.
HP incorporated that he would make such a movement in the last quarter, and now seems to ensure that he fully complies with increasing punitive rates.

“There is a quarter, we shared that our goal was that less than ten percent of the products in North America were shipped from China in September,” said Lores during the call.
“We have accelerated this and we share that now almost no product will come from China sold in the United States by June. It is a very important acceleration of the plan that we have.”
“We accelerated the shift in China factories in Southeast Asia, Mexico to some extent in the United States to mitigate the impact of change,” he added.
Lores also revealed that to avoid other prices, HP will no longer use the United States as a distribution center for products sold in Canada or Latin America.
The company revealed a net turnover of $ 13.2 billion for T2 2025, up 3.3% over a year, but BPA (profit per share) went from $ 061 to $ 042 – below the company’s prospects.
Lores noted that the company was in “an economic situation very different from the place where we were a few months ago in terms of consumer and businesses”, forcing it to take what it called “price actions”, effectively increases through PCs and printing equipment.
“In light of the increase in macroeconomic uncertainty, we have adjusted our perspectives to reflect the moderate demand and the net impact of trade related costs,” said Karen Parkhill, CFO, HP Inc, adding that the company was, “performing the targeted mitigation strategies and assuming that the current conditions remain, we expect to fully compensate for these costs Q4. “
She noted that HP had: “worked aggressively to respond to changes in the regulatory commercial environment”, however, “the rate increases announced in April were higher than expected”.
“The complete profit of these attenuating actions can take a few months depending on the scope,” added Parkhill.
