Current report
Personal Systems net revenue increased 14.4% (increased 12.1% on a constant currency basis) for the nine months ended July 31, 2026. The net revenue increase was primarily due to a 19.8% increase in ASPs, partially offset by a 4.2% decrease in PC unit volume. The decrease in PC unit volume was driven by an increasing commodity cost environment, partially offset by the Windows-based PC operating system refresh. The increase in ASPs is primarily due to pricing actions to mitigate higher commodity costs, as well as favorable currency impacts. Consequently, the cost environment drove an increase in ASPs and decrease in PC unit volume in both Commercial and Consumer PS.
