Penguin Solutions, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes.

Penguin Solutions is on one of our US lists: US tech stocks.

Penguin Solutions, Inc. earned $95.0 M of net profit in the Aug 2026 quarter, +800.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $186 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 52.5% a year on average. That is 16.8% of the quarter's revenue.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

The same quarter a year earlier earned $10.6 M. 3 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

For the full year, FY26 profit was $186 M (+544.3% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +67.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved +7.4 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +593.8% and revenue +27.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

Penguin Solutions, Inc. reported $567 M of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, +67.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 10.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $1.7 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $1.7 B.

FY26 revenue was $1.7 B, +26.5% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +27.4% on average, against 10.4% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +26.5%, against +21.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating).

Penguin Solutions, Inc.'s operating margin was 13.4% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 7.4 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 6 years it has been between −1.5% and 10.3%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +7.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.2 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Over the last 3 years, 22% of Penguin Solutions, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 its operations used $152 M of cash, against $186 M of profit. After $11.6 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$163 M: it spent more than its operations brought in.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Penguin Solutions, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $40.0 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.8% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $40.0 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Penguin Solutions, Inc.'s P/E is 16.1×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 16% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 44.0×, over 4.4 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +828.6% while the price moved +92.9%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +41.9% a year; about +352.1% a year came from earnings growth and about −310.2 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple.

In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Penguin Solutions, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Penguin Solutions, Inc. earned a ROE of 25% in FY26. That is up from a low of −81% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.3 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 10.7% net margin and 0.62× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 10.7% net margin × 0.62× asset turnover × 3.75× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 24.9% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 21.3% − 15.0% = +6.3 percentage points. The 15.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value.
