HP/HPE-related stock.

Question? Email us: info@hpalumni.org  From the independent association for former employees of HP and HPE – and those in the process of leaving. Not officially endorsed or supported. (Page updated Sep 1, 2026)  

Received a "Potential Private Retirement Benefit" letter from U.S. Social Security? How to decode this confusing letter – and who to contact, if necessary: Potential Benefit letter

Received a letter from "EQ Unify" about your stock? You must take action. Letter is unclear and doesn't cover all choices: Letter from "EQ Unify"

Have paper stock certificates? Member advice: Stock Certificates

Situation:

Depending on when and how you acquired stock – and due to the sequence of spinoffs and acquisitions – you may now have shares of HPInc, HPE, DXC, Keysight, and/or Agilent – in different accounts – and may not have received cash payouts for Micro Focus and Perspecta. You may have had stock in a predecessor company. Shares, payouts, or dividends may have been turned over to the state as "unclaimed property." Find it all – and verify or estimate your current cost basis.

Transactions were often tracked and reported differently by brokerages, plan administrators, and transfer agents – or not at all.

Only you – not the company, plan administrators, transfer agents, brokerages, or the IRS – can reconstruct your full employee stock history.

The official corporate investor sites have links to the current administrators of the employee stock purchase and stock option/award plans: HPInc and HPE.

Currently, both HPInc and HPE are using Fidelity www.netbenefits.com for employee stock purchase plans -- and Merrill Lynch www.mybenefits.ml.com for stock option/award plans.

Note: The official sites do not provide detailed shareholder information about past events, such as spinoffs, acquisitions, or predecessor companies.

The stock information on the member-supported HP Alumni Association site was developed by a team of former employees – using original SEC filings, historical data no longer available on company websites, and discussions on the HP Alumni Association Finance Forum.

Steps to take:

1. Check for unclaimed property. Neither cashing dividend checks, receiving direct deposits, nor online accesses prevent inactive accounts from being turned over to the state – only a personally-initiated transaction, postal response, or call. Difficult to retrieve money; stock is sold. 

Go to the official US/Canada MissingMoney website: "States and Provinces, through their partnership with the leading, trusted authority in unclaimed property – the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) – provide this free, safe, and secure site to the public." https://www.missingmoney.com  Be sure to run multiple searches to check for data-entry errors -- order of first and last names, initial instead of your full first or last name, common misspellings of names.

2. Stock event timeline. How many shares of which companies should I have? (HPQ, HPE, DXC, KEYS, A) How much cash should I have received? (MFGP, PRSP) https://www.hpalumni.org/StockHowMany

3. Find it all. Your stock is probably held in different places. (For example, your MFGP stock may have been at a transfer agent called AST.) Stock certificates. Transfer agents. Plan administrators. Options and stock awards. Your brokerage account. What happens when you leave? Find all your HP/HPE-related stock and options: https://www.hpalumni.org/StockWhere
