Crispr Therapeutics shares tumble after significant earnings miss
Investing.com - Stifel maintained its Buy rating and $27.00 price target on Penguin Solutions (NASDAQ:PENG), currently trading at $21.53, ahead of its fiscal third-quarter earnings report scheduled for July 8. According to InvestingPro data, analysts maintain a strong Buy consensus, with price targets ranging from $18 to $30, suggesting the stock may be undervalued at current levels.
The investment firm expects Penguin Solutions to meet analyst estimates for the quarter, which include a projected low-teens quarter-over-quarter revenue decline, reflecting the timing of Advanced Computing orders and shipments that were concentrated in the first half of the fiscal year. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 2.63, indicating solid short-term liquidity.
Stifel forecasts that the Advanced Computing segment will grow more than 20% in fiscal year 2025, driven by customer and product expansion along with Penguin’s enhanced go-to-market strategy, while maintaining a solid mid-teens percentage sales baseline from key hyperscaler customer Meta (NASDAQ:META).
The firm noted potential upside could come from the Integrated Memory segment due to strong pricing and signs of demand improvement, though this wasn’t factored into current projections.
Stifel expressed continued optimism about Penguin Solutions’ outlook, citing the company’s track record of meeting or raising fiscal year forecasts and its current valuation at approximately 11 times Stifel’s fiscal year 2026 earnings per share estimate, which represents projected growth of 10% in revenue and 15% in earnings.
