Depending on when and how you acquired HP or HPE stock,
you may now have stock in up to six completely separate HP-related
companies in various accounts -- or have missed cash payouts. An HP Alumni team has developed a process to determine what stock you should have and how to find it.

Key: Agilent is the legal successor to the
Hewlett-Packard business units -- instrument, medical,
analytical, component, etc. -- that were transferred to
Agilent under Lew Platt. (In turn, Keysight is now the legal
successor to the Agilent instrument business.)
Make sure that the legal successor to every company you ever worked for has your current postal address.
Even if not classified by the company as a "Retiree" or
if long gone -- in case of pension plan changes, employment
lawsuits, settlements, or other issues.
