HEWLETT-PACKARD Co forecast quarterly and full-year profit that will miss analysts' estimates, saying a rising US dollar will hurt results as the computer maker prepares to split into two companies.
Profit before certain items in the fiscal second quarter, which ends in April, will be 84 cents to 88 cents a share, the company said on Tuesday.
