emily: do you expect any acquisitions in hp ink or hp enterprise's future? crawford: i don't expect that hp ink will be particularly. for hewlett-packard enterprise, i think they will be back in the game and if they are not, there will be huge pressure on them to do something. so i would expect it to be something in the security space and the infrastructure of the service space. emily: we will be all over that next quarter. we will look at the clues. cory johnson and crawford del prete. thank you both. now it is time to check in on the tech revolving door. solar city announcing the cfo will retired next year. the company says the chief operating officer has been promoted to president and will absorb the responsibility. the move comes as investors punished solar city stock with a recent loss, sending shares down close to 30%. they are the largest installer of rooftop solar power. coming up, one giant leap for the space industry. ats elon musk to a huge milestone. details are next. les, this is not your father's racecar. this one uses artificial intelligence.

what is the: prospect for hp ink versus hp enterprise? morning,the radio this crawford was saying that there is a steady business for printers. we may have reached the bottom of microsoft. maybe we shouldn't be surprised. environment is a world that is going global and away from the desktop. yes, it is interesting that the free power acquisition, i think on the first bloomberg west ever, they are finally starting to show results. it is interesting to see the shop -- the stock performance. both oracle and hp are up 34% since -- took over. hp is a much smaller company. emily: you mentioned the acquisition and we have been talking about dell in the and hp acquisition ever breaking into two companies. i wonder when we look back, which one will be smarter? has criticized the decision. she has said that this has been taking money away from business critical. michael dell has fired back at her. take a listen. hp itself last year spent more than $4.5 billion on -- sharepers it repurchase. and dividends. so if they went private, they billion and i

you have hp ink which is the company that is the old boring business of computer printers and printer then hp enterprise is supposed to be the sexy part, the commercial systems and software, the armies of consultants that will arcana telecopy what they should be doing. that is thought to be the exciting part. the pc business, we have been getting signs they are reaching the bottom. i wonder if that is going to carry through. we do not see these results and a lot of places. dell is now a private company. this will be very interesting to look at these results and see what is going on in the world of pc. it is worth noting that the cash flow that this business has had in the last three decades has been all about selling paper and selling ink for the printer business. so the steady cash flow, it will be seen as a stand-alone business because most of the data is with enterprises. david: thinking about how little a user printer in my daily life i wonder what kind of future hp ink has. cory: i think it is a fair point. we are part about the death of the printer for a lot more. but we see in

people reported to hp ink, making personal computers and printers or the data business. and fittingly, it now comes the hard part, trying to convince customers to buy now that the long struggling company has changed. >> i do think if margins continue to shrink and the two companies can't work together to create great solutions, then they're going to lose customers and then they'll have more layoffs. >> this also changes things for hp investors, and there are a lot in the bay area. two separate companies are trading on the stock exchange with two different stock symbols. this all happens as hp prepares for layoffs the company announced back in september. wall street, by the way, liking today's move, at least for day one on the hp ink side, boosting shares by about 12%. back to you. >> thank you. >>> okay, let's turn things over to jeff ranieri. we have a little bit of everything tonight. >> it was niels, refreshing to see all the rain. >> very wild, and we're still tracking hail and some lightning tonight. you can see in the doppler radar now, spotty activity up into mari

following to other stocks, hp enterprise and hp ink. ill be their first earnings report since the big split. what are you looking for? >> i think we will see a tale of two cities and the expectations will reflect that. from hp, i want to see growth. enterprise services, it is a self-inflicted wound they have to correct in order to show sales growth. ink, given the trials of the pc market, i want to see stable growth, but i also want to see operating stability as the quarters go along. both large companies even after the split, so i want to see some serious progress on operating income and cash flow from hp ink and i would like to sales growths of from hp enterprise. david, do you think that one or both of these companies can really reinvigorate themselves? david: any company that is company, it's a legitimate question, how will they reinvigorate themselves? but i am curious, i would love anand, hpnon--- enterprises calls themselves a cloud company. do you think they can compete with microsoft, google, even ibm? you hit the nail on the he

tomorrow morning people will report to both hp ink, or hewlett-packard enterprise. ple will be moving to different locations. both in palo alto where hp was founded. now comes the hard part. trying to convince customers to buy now that the long struggling company has changed. >> i do think if margins continue to shrink and the two companies can't work together to create great solutions, then they're going to lose customers and then they'll have more layoffs. >> it also changes things for investors and there are a lot of them. starting monday work the separate cloims trade on the stock exchange with two different stocks symbols. it comes in september. we'll hear from ceo meg whitman about the scope of the split. >> big news there. thank you so much. the russian bound plane crashes in just a minute. coming up. >> we're learning more about what happened while in the air. there is still some mystery surrounding what ultimately caused this crash. thank you so much. did you say honey? hey, try some? mmm that is tasty. is it real? of course... are you? nope animated you kno

within those results, they break many divisions of hp. ink with hp others going with hewlett-packard enterprise. these were the results that went through the end of october and the results were just plain bad across the board. if you look through every single division of this company, u.s. sales declines across the board. some of them quite shocking. enterpriseception of systems, you had big sales declines in every single aspect of the company. really disconcerting for hp investors that hoped the bottom had been reached from this company that has struggled for so long. carol: how do you come back when you see numbers like that? is this a company that has a future? cory: that is the point. -- the pace of decline and printers was shocking. they have not see numbers that i said was the worst quarter they've ever done. the worst quarter they've done since the last recession. a really dramatic decline. there was a product problem. they sold a product that did not use ink as much as they hoped. as a result, the sales of ink and paper down quite a b

want to zero in on shares of hp ink and hp enterprises.the two companies formed by this year's split of hewlett-packard, and both giving weak guidance. stocks are on the move. very different directions. >> it was a tough pc market, but hp inc. prepared very well. gained share in virtually every category. had the highest all-time share they had in the commercial pc segment for a long time, which is the more profitable segment of that business. can hp turn itself around? we have john fort joining us. to you first, when you hear meg whitman, if you are an investor in hp, what are you hearing today? >> of course, not being an investor, i'm not exactly sure, but i tell you, i look at hp enterprise. it's obviously got a single category where hp enterprise absolutely controls its destiny. you look at industry standard servers. that's been going okay. now you have the server business separated from the business, and it's unclear how the cost of economics of that are going to go forward. network is going better than it was. hp, the size that it's n

split into hp ink and hpe a few weeks back. the big takeaway, hpe, perhaps a bit better than some were expecting in terms of seeing actual revenue growth at least in constant currency while the competitive marketplace for hp inc which sells pc's and printers is strong right now. it's not having the easiest of times. down 14% in revenues in the personal systems group and in the printing group as well at hp inc. the stock of which since it was actually split off has been performing far better than it's sister company hpe. we'll see how that goes though this morning on these results. overall the company reporting $25.7 billion in revenue. 3.3 billion in free cash flow. which was a bit less than had been anticipated largely as a result of weakness in the personal systems group and printing part of the business. the japanese given the relative weakness of the yen taking advantage on the pricing not to mention overall the impact the dollar had on enterprises and hp inc's business overall given how much of it takes place outside of th

it is hewlett-packard enterprise and hp ink.ervers, high-end software, and services. hp ink includes the printers and pc business. they will start trading separately today. it's always interesting who runs which company. it's usually a signal of how well they think the company is going to do. whitmane: what meg needs is strategy. if you think about pcs and printers, they are simply not the future. they are not. suddenly, corporate debt is hot again. companies sold $103 billion worth of investment grade bonds in october. a record for the month according to the wall street journal. this a healthy sign or a sign we are getting closer to the bubble? is we are in a wait and see moment. people and the pair are fighting. -- the ball and that there are fighting. bear arell and the fighting. indications ofof overheating. i hope they go in december and i -- credit markets sold off aggressively since september and has for the first time the spread on the credit curve is actually worthwhile planes. between a good credit and a bad credit as

hp ink will consist of computers and printer. welcome.s is the ad that was in yesterday's paper. "the company that started silicon valley is making history again." so i want to talk about how you plan to make history. tell me what happened to hewlett-packard. how did the company that bill hewlett and david packard create, that was the admiration of the world, the company in terms of values, in terms of culture, in terms of success was looked on with huge admiration. meg: the last decade was a tough decade. i would actually chalk it up to too much turnover at the ceo level. when you have different strategies, it is hard on the company, particularly one as large as hp. so i can see as we are turning a corner with people who been three or four years, you're starting to see it gel again. the root of the challenge was too many ceo's. charlie: did it therefore miss huge opportunities that others saw? meg: absolutely it did. mobile phones was an opportunity that hp missed. charlie: so did microsoft. meg: so did many others. but you know the tech

last week, a terrible recorder from hp ink, the new pc and printer portion of the old hewlett-packard much of the stock's huge decline stemming from what should have been obvious, price cutting to stay competitive with japanese companies that sell club right rattly undervalued yen, kind of a commodity. my old friend dan d'amico, former ceo wrote to me in an email, letting our industries be destroyed in an economic trade war, things that could not be destroyed by military conflict in over 200 years. where is the outrage, he ponders? i think we know the answer. these industries, these laid off workers, the price we pay for free trade and the u.s. government spores free trade seemingly at any cost. like a religion. these companies are being sacrificed, believe me, your port foal grow will be sacrificed, too, if you try to bottom fish in the toxic companies can't possibly compete in this new, unfair environment that historically has been blessed by both our political parties. stay with cramer. smart devices are up. cloud is up. analytics is up. seems like everything is up except your budg

hp ink tumbled. both companies have forecast first-quarter profits below estimates.johnson has more from san francisco. last time,n: for the hewlett-packard as a company as we know it have reported earnings before the split takes full effect. and itthese numbers shows a continual deterioration of the company. we had $24.3 billion in revenue. $.46 a share. it is down 9%. that is disconcerting because we have seen 15 of the last extinct orders -- six unity last 17 quarters with revenue declining. the business is substantially shrinking. a lot smaller profits. printers are down 14%. that is the biggest decline i can see in any model i have created for this company in a decade. maybe the biggest decline ever. notion that both printing and pcs are a massive decline for hewlett-packard. the company spent well over $10 billion in software acquisitions the last two years. the software is also in double-digit declines. the last quarter, software is down 6%. this quarter, software is down 12%. enterprise,e hp disconcerting that the software business for which they once held pr

one called hp ink will sell pcs and printers to consumers and businesses. the other part will focus on i.t. services and software. they expect to generate about $50 billion in annua sales. >>> and retailers are working overtime to lure holiday workers. unemployment is at a seven-year low, so hourly retail work is less attractive to job seekers. that's led some chains to up the aniote. toys r us is giving part-time workers a chance to double their hours. macy's may turn more part-time jobs into full-time positions, and target is offering more money for the busiest shifts. so usually it's the companies looking for holiday shoppers, but now we're looking for more workers this holiday season as well. back over to you. >> that's good, right. people who are looking for seasonal work, especially young people, may have a chance this winter. >> thank you so much, landon. >>> still ahead, it's an urban legend that becomes reality when a dangerous discovery was made in some real halloween treats. police worry there could be more out there. >>> plus, a humpback whale t

ink johnson has more on hp and hewlett-packard enterprise. good morning. did everybody get it so wrong? if you look the stock prices this morning, hp inc. is cratering. hp enterprise is trading modestly higher but they cap -- gap is so wide. : they do not break up earnings results for the two companies when they split in november. the results from last night was the last time we will get hewlett-packard results. let us take a moment and think about all the wonders enjoys that they have given us in the 20 plus years. what it has been is kind of a disaster. beside 9% year-over-year sales declined under meg whitman's last quarter with the company. is the worst sales declined it seemed quite a long time. the entire business and almost every aspect of the business is shrinking. the hope is you would have two businesses that would be very different. a steady printer business that sells pcs. and supplies and printers and ink. and you have a high-growth business. selling network routers, services, software. but across almost every single metric, and all those busi
