Data analytics software company Palantir Technologies moved its headquarters to Denver, Colorado from Palo Alto, California, earlier this year, CNBC reported. Dropbox CEO Drew Houston also reportedly decided to move to Austin, while the firm said it will stop asking employees to come into its offices and instead make remote work the standard practice.

Sales in the quarter ended Oct 31 were little changed from a year ago at US$7.2 billion . Analysts, on average, estimated US$6.9 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Profit, excluding some items, was 37 cents a share in the fiscal fourth quarter, HPE said Tuesday in a statement. Analysts had projected 34 cents.

Fiscal fourth-quarter sales increased 6 per cent from the prior period. In the current quarter, HPE projected that profit, excluding some items, will be 40 cents to 44 cents. That compares with an average analyst prediction of 35 cents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company said sales will decline from the preceding period at a percentage in the mid-single digits, in line with normal seasonal patterns. A decline of 5 per cent would indicate sales of about US$6.84 billion.
