Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.<\/strong>\u00a0In 2009, a “Double Down” signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia.\u00a0For the first time in years, that same “Total Conviction” signal is flashing for a company 1\/100th the size of Nvidia.\u00a0Continue \u00bb<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n

Impressive AI-fueled gains <\/p>\n

Penguin’s net sales jumped 48% year over year to $479 million in its fiscal 2026 third quarter, which ended on May 29. Growth was driven by new customer wins and higher sales to existing clients. <\/p>\n

Rising demand for agentic AI and inference<\/a> is creating an urgent need for high-performance memory. With demand outpacing supply, Penguin is enjoying strong pricing power, which is bolstering its profit margins. <\/p>\n

“Memory business net sales were outstanding at $275 million, up more than 111% year over year, supported by both higher volume and pricing,” CEO Kash Shaikh said during a conference call with analysts. <\/p>\n

All told, Penguin’s adjusted operating income surged 67% to $64 million, while its adjusted earnings per share soared 79% to $0.47. <\/p>\n

This AI growth story is still in its early chapters <\/p>\n

These strong results and “robust” AI-driven demand trends prompted Penguin to lift its full-year revenue and profit guidance. Management now projects net sales growth of roughly 22% and adjusted earnings of 2.60 per share in fiscal 2026. <\/p>\n

“As inference and agentic AI workloads become more persistent and context-rich, memory is increasingly becoming one of the primary performance and scalability bottlenecks,” Shaikh said. “Penguin is well-positioned at the intersection of memory and AI infrastructure to help customers address these evolving requirements.” <\/p>\n
