Stock event timeline – how many shares (and how much cash) should you have received?

Part of our process to find stock and estimate cost basis. Start here: Stock Step-by-Step   (Not officially endorsed or supported.)


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 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 correct postal address.

Step 3: If you had 100 HPQ shares on Oct 21, 2015 (date of the HPInc/HPE split) -- 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 checks

(If you need more detail: Stock Decoder Table  The HPAA's 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.)

Did you get the most recent dividend or other payout? Either a check sent directly to you or cash credited to your account at an administrator or broker. (This indicates that the stock is still registered in your name somewhere.)
