Pure Storage's recent financial results have been disappointing, with lowered forecasts and a significant decline in stock price. However, the company's strong cash position, high cash flow, and expected future growth indicate that it may not be a complete disaster. While the stock may experience a period of stagnation, the underlying positive trends in data centers and AI suggest a slow recovery over time.
Excellent company. Would recommend buying. Has turned around.
They're either up or down. Their blow-out or die, and that's too difficult for him.
EPS of 50c beat estimates of 40c, and sales of $763M were inline. However, forecasts were lowered, with 4Q sales guidance at $782M vs prior estimates of $924M. Operating margin forecast 19% vs 21.1%. The company has seen headwins on large orders and the results were quite disappointing as some peers reported much stronger results. One very large order ($41M) was pushed out to January. With the stock decline (worst in four years) the P/E is now 23X. It has $1.1B net cash. Even with reduced guidance, growth is still expected to be 15% next year. Cash flow remains high with strong free cash flow conversion ($454M in 12 months). While disappointing for sure, not a complete disaster. The stock might flat line for a while, but the underlying trends (data centres, AI) remain positive. Insiders still own $600M in stock. We would expect a slow recovery here over time.
