,Introduction
The following report will provide a basic understanding of how Hewlett Packard (HP) is
financially operating in the consumer electronics industry compared to the industry and its
competitors. It is the 9th best company in consumer electronics in terms of company sales
(Passport, 2020). It will include financial ratio calculations for the last four years to give
investors a more transparent view of the industry. The industry averages are conducted from
other competitors such as Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft.

2020).
