It made hefty profits as it grew into a multinational giant that sold a wide range of computer gear and commercial tech services. HP Inc. will sell personal computers and printers; Hewlett Packard Enterprise will sell commercial computer systems, software and tech services. Starting Monday, each will trade separately on the New York Stock Exchange. HPs current chief executive, who pushed for the split, says the new spinoffs will be more nimble. CEO Meg Whitman will run HP Enterprise, while PC industry veteran Dion Weisler will lead HP Inc. Each will be independent, with flexibility to respond to a constantly evolving market, Whitman told an investor conference last month. With less to focus on, she added, each company will do core things better., AP Report
