Hewlett-Packard Co. should break itself up, separating its division that sells printers and personal computers from the one that caters to businesses, UBS AG analysts wrote in a research report today.

The company would be worth more than $20 a share if its businesses operated independently, the analysts wrote, compared with today’s closing price of $14.46.
