Stock event timeline. How many shares of which companies should I have? How much cash should I have received? (Not officially endorsed or supported.)
This page gives details for only one aspect of the many HP/HPE-related stocks. Depending on when you acquired stock -- and due to the sequence of spinoffs and acquisitions -- you may now have shares of HPInc (HPQ), HPE, DXC, Keysight (KEYS), and/or Agilent (A) – in different accounts – and may not have received cash payouts for Micro Focus (MFGP) and Perspecta (PRSP). Transactions were often tracked and reported differently – or not at all. Only you – not the company, plan administrators, transfer agents, brokers, or the IRS – can reconstruct your full employee stock history. Find it all – and verify or estimate your current cost basis.
Start here: HP/HPE-related stock
How to use the table:
Step 1: In the table below, compare the date when you first acquired HP stock with the dates of these major HP/HPE-related stock events. This indicates the public companies you should have received shares in based on your purchases of HP stock (if if happens that you never sold any of the HP spinoff shares.)
Step 2: Click on each link in the blue column to find the most recent dividends or other payouts that you should have received -- if you still have the stock registered in your name with your current postal address.
Step 3:
If you had 100 HPQ shares on Oct 21, 2015 (date of the HPInc/HPE separation) -- and have not initiated the sale of any HP or spinoff stock since -- you should currently have the number of shares (and have received cash) as shown in the green column. (Amounts approximate, since fractional shares are paid out in cash.)Step 3: If you are not getting dividends or payouts for a stock you believe you own, go to Check for lost stock and uncashed payout or dividend checks
(If you need more detail: Stock Decoder Table That page is our central information page for stock -- old and new stock symbols, shares or cash paid, links to more info, state to check for unclaimed stock, official investor FAQ, cost basis allocations.)
