Hewlett-Packard breakup. On Nov 1, 2015, the legal name of the Hewlett-Packard Company was changed to HP Inc. ("hp" logo, HPQ stock symbol) and a new, completely separate company focused on servers, cloud, and networking – Hewlett Packard Enterprise ("HPE" logo and stock symbol) – was spun off. Portions of HPE were later spun off into DXC and Micro Focus. Details: HP Breakup

(HP Labs is part of HP Inc; Hewlett Packard Labs is part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise.)
