HPE stock jumps to record highs on AI server launch, $1.2 B Helios order and upgraded networking outlook

Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced four new ProLiant servers powered by AMD EPYC processors and confirmed a $1.2 billion Helios AI rack order from cloud provider Vultr. The company also raised its fiscal 2027 networking revenue growth outlook to the high‑teens to low‑20s percent range and highlighted an 18 % annual growth expectation for the networking market. These developments pushed HPE shares to a record intraday high of $73.28 and a 52‑week high of $72.09.

The higher networking outlook and the large Vultr contract suggest stronger future revenue streams, which analysts such as Morgan Stanley have reflected in raised price targets for HPE. Investors may see the stock’s upside potential if the company can sustain its AI‑focused growth and avoid supply constraints.
