= $1,911,000K ÷ $28,081,000K
= 6.81%

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co's net profit margin has exhibited some fluctuations over the past eight quarters. The trend shows that the net profit margin has generally ranged between 2.92% and 13.31% during this period.

The net profit margin was highest in Q3 2022 and Q2 2022, standing at 13.31% and 13.28% respectively. These strong performances indicate that the company was able to effectively convert its revenue into profits during those quarters.

However, the net profit margin declined in subsequent quarters, reaching its lowest point of 2.92% in Q1 2023. This could suggest challenges in managing costs or generating higher revenues relative to expenses during that period.

In the most recent quarter, Q1 2024, the net profit margin improved to 6.81%, showing a rebound from the lower levels seen in the previous quarters. Overall, while there have been fluctuations, it is important for Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co to focus on maintaining a healthy net profit margin to ensure sustainable profitability.
