HPQ Stock Logs Best Day In Over A Year On 3D Printing Push: Shareholders Back Expanded Incentive Plan

• HP said its 3D printing business is now 10 years old.
• HP shareholders approved an amended stock incentive plan, which increases the number of shares available for issuance.
• Stocktwits sentiment for HPQ improved to ‘bullish’ from ‘neutral.’

HP. Inc.’s shares rallied 7.7% on Tuesday, their best intraday move in over a year, and gained further in the extended session, amid what appears to be positive sentiment around its new 3D printer launches and all of the company’s proposals, including an amended stock incentive plan, passing shareholder vote.

Retail sentiment around HPQ improved, with some traders positioning for a near-term move higher, drawing parallels to rival Dell’s trajectory – DELL shares have surged roughly 90% since their recent low on Jan. 20.

HP’s 3D Printer Push

At the industry conference RAPID + TCT 2026 last week, HP said its 3D printing business reached its 10-year anniversary and announced that its flagship Jet Fusion 5600 series will now come with AI-driven workflow tools and new technologies that boost printer output by 20% and reduce operational costs. 

HP also announced a cheaper 3D printer, the Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 1200, for small businesses, as well as color variants of its Jet Fusion 300 and 500 series, highlighting HP’s push into higher-margin areas beyond traditional PCs and printing.

Separately, in an exchange filing late Tuesday, HP announced that shareholders approved all company proposals at its 2026 annual meeting held on April 16. 

A key outcome was the approval of the Fifth Amended and Restated HP Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. This amendment increases the number of shares available for issuance under the plan by 73.6 million shares.

The developments come after HP and Dell shares jumped last week following reports that Nvidia was eyeing an acquisition of one of the largest PC makers globally, which would “reshape the PC landscape.” Nvidia, subsequently, denied the report.

Retail’s View On HPQ

On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for HPQ shifted to ‘bullish’ as of late Tuesday, from ‘neutral’ the previous day. “$HPQ run this s*** to 50 like Dell just did,” a user said, while another discussed how they trimmed their PayPal position to buy HPQ shares.

“Moved some of my $PYPL gains over to $HPQ. Similar stories, but HPQ is a better setup after last week's PayPal run,” this trader said.

HP has yet to set a date for its second-quarter results. Despite Tuesday’s gains, HPQ shares are still down nearly 4% year to date.
