Well, if you extrapolate their recent history, I would expect a couple of CEO changes in that time, along with a couple of restructurings that write off the bulk of their "profits" over that time period.
The printer business will be smaller, the computer business will still be a marginal business (at best), and their services division will still be considered sub-par by everyone in the industry.
I suspect that in five years there will be concerns that HPQ might not have the cash flows to deal with their debt load.

You guys aren't very patient are you?
I got HPQ up to 1,000 shares as planned. My average cost basis is around $21.
Let's see what happens in five years.
I'm now working on JNJ, PG, and JPM. Getting them all to 200 shares each. So far I have 160 shares of JNJ and PG, and 90 of JPM.
