The world's largest PC maker, Hewlett-Packard Corp. (NYSE: HPQ), reported a 10% quarterly drop in earnings. In other words, welcome to the recession HP. Although the PC industry has been hammered along with every other industry in the global economic recession, HP has continued to shine, all things considered, in recent quarters. Reality hit this Wednesday after the market, however.

CEO Mark Hurd, an expert at containing costs and pressing into new business areas, is the right leader at the worst time in the company's recent history. Still, can any company weather the economic and consumer spending mess in progress? For HP, analysts who were expecting $0.93 per share for the company's first quarter saw a figure of $0.75 once HP let the results hit.

In Next Inning newsletter, technology stock guru Paul McWilliams sees weakness in Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ) as an opportunity to buy "one of the best-managed large cap tech companies in the world."

"Following Mark Hurd's appointment as CEO back in 2005, we turned cautiously bullish on the shares. It didn't take long to realize that he was not only making the right decisions, but also executing them swiftly and effectively.

"Hurd hit the ground running, trimming fat and restructuring both internal and sales channel operations. The net results were rapidly growing sales, improved profitability and a much higher stock price.

"Now, in line with our earnings preview, Hewlett Packard announced results that were better than the consensus expectation of the covering analysts; HPQ also raised its full year guidance.

"However, the real news is the company's intention to purchase EDS for $13.9 billion. The news of the acquisition has knocked the stock down to a level that represents a clear value opportunity.

"In my view, this is a brilliant move by HPQ and that the negotiated price represents a solid value for HPQ. I believe this represents an opportunity for investors to buy one of the best-managed large cap tech companies in the world at a clear value price."
