In this case though, HP isnt the former powerhouse, which is alive and well, as HPE, reinventing itself and on quite an acquisition spree. HP is the printer and pc business they shed to keep themselves from bleeding out. HP is the kind of thing Lenovo likes buying, some scrap somebody else wanted. HP may have the larger market cap, but HPE is the company building itself for the future.
