last I heard, Hewlett-Packard is still doing just fine as a corporation.
You may not follow IT/financials then. HP has been shopping its PC division for a spinoff, lost the #1 spot to Lenovo, had a disastrous entry into tablets, and is trying to mimic IBM by emphasizing services and enterprise stuff. If they succeed, it will be because they undid all of Fiorina's work. The one thing they cannot undo is the loss of HP's reputation as a first class engineering company. Sixty years of reputation . . . Gone.

Yep. Place I used to work at was filled with nothing but the finest test equipment out there: HP.
*Poof*. Gone. All for cheap printers and expensive ink, and computers I couldn’t stand.
