The Surprising Way to Play a Historic AI Merger

by

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (NYSE: HPE) stunned Wall Street on May 17 with important merger news.

That's when the company announced it was joining forces with another historic computing firm.

See, HPE is a spin-off of the storied Hewlett Packard, one of Silicon Valley's early computing pioneers. It said last Friday it is buying supercomputing legend Cray for about $1.4 billion.

Here's the thing. HPE is making the move because it wants greater access to a lucrative tech platform we've been talking about for some time now – artificial intelligence (AI).

The timing is great. IDC says worldwide spending on AI systems will jump 44% this year to $35.8 billion.

And this ranks as a twofer. Cray remains a supercomputing powerhouse. It has won a string of government contracts over the years, which will give HPE a stable sales base.

Cray just scored a $600 million Department of Energy contract to build what is expected to be the world's fastest supercomputer.

Let's not forget that supercomputers play a critical role in AI, which requires massive processing power.

And today, I'm going to tell you of a hidden way to play this exciting AI merger.
