HP Inc. said sales rose for a second straight quarter after a slump, as the personal-computer business showed further signs of life.

The Palo Alto, Calif., company on Wednesday said revenue in the quarter that ended Jan. 31 rose 4% from a year earlier, with sales of notebook PCs especially strong. Sales in its printer business slipped 3%, however, a smaller decline than in other recent quarters but one that illustrates continued challenges in a business that HP has significantly staked its future on. Net profit from continuing operations fell 6%.
