Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Hewlett Packard Enterprise sells servers, storage, networking and hybrid-cloud infrastructure to businesses, the enterprise half that emerged from the 2015 split of the old Hewlett-Packard. It has leaned into edge computing, high-performance systems and its GreenLake as-a-service platform, aiming to shift more revenue toward recurring subscriptions in a competitive, capital-heavy market. HPE has paid a dividend since the split and grown it steadily, supported by cash flow from its infrastructure franchise. The yield is on the low side, so the income story is about consistency and a healthy balance between dividends and buybacks rather than a high payout. Its solid score reflects a dependable, if unspectacular, dividend record.
