The raised FY2027 guidance to ~$2.43B revenue (40% YoY) and non-GAAP EPS of $4.45 significantly exceeds the preliminary view of ~$2.17B shared last quarter, driven by accelerating AI Infrastructure demand and neocloud customer wins. Watch for further customer expansion announcements and the Q1 FY2027 earnings call for initial guidance tracking.

Executive Summary
Penguin Solutions reported record Q4 FY2026 results with net sales of $567M (up 68% YoY) and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.00 (up 133% YoY), significantly beating consensus estimates of $0.77 EPS and $521M revenue. The company also raised its FY2027 outlook to ~$2.43B in net sales (40% YoY growth) and non-GAAP EPS of $4.45.

The strong results and raised guidance come amid activist pressure from SK Telecom (SC 13D/A filed 70 days ago), adding scrutiny on execution.
