## About the Decision

After a sharp increase during the epidemic, sales of PCs and laptops have fallen, prompting the decision to slash positions. One of the deciding reasons may be the concerns about inflation and the global economic downturn. Given these circumstances, HP Inc. anticipates a first-quarter profit that will be below estimates due to sluggish demand.
