In its personal systems unit, which includes personal computers and accounts for the majority of growth, revenue fell 11% to $8.9B in Q3 year over year.
Printing net revenue fell 7% to $4.3B, led by partly by supply-chain issues.

For 2023, adjusted EPS was guided in a range of $3.23 to $3.35, below Wall Street estimates of $3.37, and down from a prior range of $3.30 to $3.50. The company also lowered its guidance on annual free cash to $3B from a prior estimate of $3B to $3.5B.
