Hewlett-Packard is all set to announce its earnings report next Monday after the close of the market. This will be the first earnings call under the course of new CEO Meg Whitman. What is interesting in this earnings call is that the CEO Whitman took some critical decisions, like keeping the much debated $40 billion-plus PC business. When Leo Apotheker was handling the command, HP was debating on selling or spinning off the PC division, but Whitman reverted that decision. It's also expected that HP could license the software to other companies, or possibly use it for other devices it makes, such as printers.
