# Penguin Solutions Inc. (PENG) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment. Price $51.76, market value $2.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 37.2×** (5-yr avg 52.1×, 3-yr avg 86.2×). Penguin Solutions Inc. trades at 37.2× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 52.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 15.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.12**. A PEG of 0.12 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.8×.
- **Price / book: 6.0×**. The shares trade at 6.0× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 16.7×**. Enterprise value is 16.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -2.6%** (5-yr avg 7.6%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 2.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 27.9%**. Penguin Solutions Inc. keeps 27.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 7.2%**. 7.2% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 1.9%**. 1.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.4%**. 6.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 21.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 21.3%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 6.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 6.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 16.9%** (3-yr -0.7%/yr, 5-yr 4.0%/yr). Revenue grew 16.9% over the last year, against 4.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 128.0%** (3-yr -38.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 128.0%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 5.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 5.8% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.17**. Debt is 1.17 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.1×**. It would take 0.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.88**. A Z-score of 2.88 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Penguin Solutions Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 109.5%** (YTD 164.6%, 3-mo -13.5%). The shares are up 109.5% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -42.4%** (222.7% above the low). Trading 42% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 47**. An RSI of 47 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 3.19** (volatility 82%). Beta of 3.19 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
