minus-squareutopiah@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·edit-25 hours agolol, $100k+… HP revenue in 2024 was $53,559,000k. Dell same year $88,000,000k and Lenovo $69,000,000k, so ~$50B to $90B I let you calculate the percentage but… I’d guesstimate it’s approximately nothing.

minus-squareutopiah@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·edit-23 hours agoRight… which… is why I wrote revenue and not operational profit? Was I unclear? What should I have shared instead? Please feel free to clarify directly with whatever you believe would be better and why, we can all learn.
minus-squareVinstaal0@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agoRevenue says basically nothing in this kind of context. HP’s earnings before taxes was 3 279m so 100k is well nothing.
