Penguin Solutions falls as Q3 revenue misses estimates despite earnings beat

Investing.com -- Penguin Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PENG) reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, but revenue fell short of estimates, sending shares down 4.2% following the announcement.

The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.47, beating the analyst consensus of $0.33 by 14 cents. However, revenue came in at $324 million, missing the consensus estimate of $330.79 million. Compared to the same quarter last year, revenue increased 7.9% YoY.

"We delivered solid third quarter results while executing against our strategic objectives," said Mark Adams, chief executive officer of Penguin Solutions. "We also strengthened our balance sheet through a refinancing after the close of Q3, and we remain focused on developing our AI software and services capabilities."

Penguin Solutions reported a GAAP gross margin of 29.3%, down 30 basis points from the year-ago quarter, while non-GAAP gross margin was 31.7%, down 60 basis points YoY.

By segment, Advanced Computing generated $132.5 million in revenue, Integrated Memory contributed $130.1 million, and Optimized LED added $61.6 million.

For fiscal year 2025, the company maintained its guidance, projecting 17% YoY revenue growth (±2%) and adjusted EPS of $1.80 (±$0.05). The midpoint of the EPS guidance exceeds the analyst consensus, reflecting management’s confidence despite the revenue miss in the third quarter.

The company’s GAAP diluted EPS was -$0.01 compared to $0.10 in the year-ago quarter, while adjusted diluted EPS improved from $0.37 in the prior-year period.
