Analysis · PENG · Manufacturing
A record quarter underscores the accelerating AI infrastructure buildout: net sales jumped 68% year over year to $567 million, with diluted EPS of $1.29 versus $0.11 a year ago. Management raised its fiscal 2027 outlook to approximately $2.43 billion in net sales — up from the $2.17 billion preliminary view shared last quarter — and now expects non-GAAP diluted EPS of $4.45, representing 55% growth. The quarter's customer wins tell the story: six new data center customers in Q4 alone, including a neocloud deal with $10 billion in contracted compute for a 36,000-GPU AI factory in Norway. For a company with a market cap near $3.3 billion, this is a thesis-altering quarter — the growth trajectory has fundamentally steepened.
