On Thursday, Stifel analysts reiterated their Buy rating on Penguin Solutions (NASDAQ:PENG) shares, maintaining a $27.00 price target. The firm’s analysts highlighted Penguin Solutions’ second quarter results, which exceeded both their own and the consensus expectations, attributing the success to strong performance in the Advanced Computing and Integrated Memory sectors. According to InvestingPro data, the company, with a market capitalization of $962 million, appears undervalued based on its Fair Value analysis. InvestingPro’s comprehensive financial health assessment rates the company as ’FAIR’, with particularly strong scores in cash flow and relative value metrics.

Penguin Solutions reported year-over-year growth exceeding 20% in its Advanced Computing and Memory segments. While the company’s trailing twelve-month revenue stands at $1.24 billion, Stifel analysts expect the company’s Advanced Computing revenue to rise sequentially in the third quarter and the second half of the year, projecting an increase of over 25% for the fiscal year 2025 when normalizing for the variability linked to the major customer.
