Agilent, Verigy, Keysight stock issues for HP shareholders  (Updated Sep 7, 2025)  Not officially endorsed or supported.

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.

When finished here, go to: HP/HPE-Related Stocks 


Developed by a team of former employees using original SEC filings, information often no longer available on company websites, and discussions on the HPAA Finance Forum.

A Price Chart Note: Stock price charts do not always accurately reflect stock splits and other events.

Keep your postal address current on every financial account. And run an "unclaimed property" search every year. Employer does not update your address. Financial institutions are required to turn over inactive accounts to the state. Neither cashing dividend checks, receiving direct deposits, accessing accounts online, nor receiving statements prevents this – only a personally-initiated transaction, postal response, or call. Difficult to retrieve funds – and stock is sold. Easy to check: Unclaimed Property

Agilent is incorporated in Delaware

HP's official financial Q and A about several acquisitions:

HP once had a page on their financial website entitled "Q and A," which linked to FAQs giving details for stockholders of companies that HP had acquired. The FAQs are no longer on the HP financial website -- and the FAQs about acquisitions that became part of HPE on Nov 1, 2015 are not on the HPE financial website.

The most recent copy of the HP financial "Q and A" page in the independent non-profit Internet Archive was collected on Jan 9, 2017 -- and it has links to a copy of each FAQ:  https://web.archive.org/web/20190109232600/http://h30261.www3.hp.com/faq.aspx 

The stock in these predecessor companies is no longer traded. The shareholders -- including former employees who had stock or options -- were paid off in cash or stock of the acquiring company at the time of the acquisition.
