Hewlett Packard Enterprise just reported its biggest earnings surprise since 2018, sending the stock up 30% in a single day. The standout number: networking revenue more than doubled, growing 148%.

## Idea

HPE just delivered its best earnings surprise since 2018, powered by 148% networking revenue growth — that's not a one-time blip, it signals the company is winning big contracts in AI-era data center infrastructure. After a 30% single-day surge, the stock typically catches its breath before analysts issue a wave of upgrades and price-target increases. Buying on a short-term pullback lets you ride that second wave of buying without chasing the initial spike. The AI buildout cycle is still early, and HPE is now firmly on investors' radar as a key infrastructure player.
