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 Inc. is the overall legal successor to Hewlett-Packard Company and to companies acquired by Hewlett-Packard before Nov 1, 2015 – Compaq, EDS, etc. – regardless of whether a business unit ended up in HP Inc or HPE. For employees of HP -- and predecessor companies -- who left before the HPInc/HPE separation, responsibility for any health or retirement benefits varies from country to country, depending on employee population. For the US, HP Inc has responsibility. For Canada and UK, HPE has responsibility. In many countries, plans were split between HP Inc and HPE. See: Where are my benefits?
