This page gives details for only one aspect of the many HP/HPE-related stocks. If you were ever an HP shareholder, you may now have shares of HPQ, HPE, DXC, Keysight, and/or Agilent – in different accounts – and may not have received cash payouts for MFGP and PRSP. Only you – not the company, plan administrators, transfer agents, brokers, or the IRS – can reconstruct your full stock history. Transactions were often tracked and reported differently – or not at all.

Member advice on Obtaining Stock Records
Long-time HP employees may have old statements from HP's previous transfer agents -- which also administered the employee stock purchase plans over the years:
- Harris Trust.
- Computershare. Bought the Harris stock registry business in 2001.
- ChaseMellon. Joint venture between Mellon and Chase in 1995.
- BNY Mellon. Unencrypted backup tapes with information on 12 million shareholders -- including HP's -- were twice lost by BNY couriers in 2008. (We got one year of identity monitoring service. No members reported breaches.)
- Computershare again. Bought the Mellon stock registry business in 2012.
Currently:
- HP's transfer agent is Equiniti. Bought Shareowner Services division of Wells Fargo in 2019.
