Carly Fiorina versus HP's other CEOs, in charts

SAN FRANCISCO — Presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has been criticized for HP's performance during her tenure. This is how the company fared under the leadership of Fiorina and others:

Some of HP's leanest years were in the immediate aftermath of the dot-com bust, under Fiorina's helm. But by far the biggest hit was following the Autonomy acquisition engineered by Leo Apotheker, which resulted in a $12 billion loss in 2012.

Fiorina gets grief for doubling down on PCs by buying Compaq in the waning years of that business. But EDS and Autonomy resulted in big writedowns. And remember Palm?

Fiorina's claims that HP's stock (HPQ) under her tenure was a result of the post dot-com bust hold water — to a degree. But shares still did worse.
