According to its latest figures, Hewlett Packard has managed to best its own estimates for the first quarter of this year, with profits rising an impressive 25%.
Still seems strange to see HP at the top of the heap, fair play 
Word comes from Cnet of the announcement, which saw the company manage to achieve a net revenue of $31.2 billion and putting earnings at $2.32 billion. While the increase in revenue amounts to a fairly impressive 8%, the earnings increase manages to swell to a far more noteworth 25%. Certainly, given the current financial climate, HP will be happy to not only have sustained growth, but to have grown profit by such a large magnitude.
