UBS initiates coverage on Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) with a Sell. PT $16.00.

The firm said shares will underperform until investors are convinced that the company is not in secular decline.

UBS said a break-up into enterprise and end user companies would make sense, and the sum-of-the-parts could be worth $27-$34. They said it would be interesting in an activist investor like Carl Icahn or Bill Ackman became involved.
