PENG stock today, November 12, 2026: price, news and analyst targets
As of November 11, 2026, Penguin Solutions Inc. (PENG) trades at $49.25. Wall Street's median 12-month price target is $85.00 across 8 analysts, 72.6% above the price. CleaRank rates it Buy with a score of 74/100.
Penguin Solutions Inc. (PENG) has rallied hard over the past year, up 135.98%, yet the stock is still trading 45.19% below its 52-week high of $89.86 after a sharp one-month pullback of 37.78%. The rebound came after an October 6, 2026 report in which adjusted EPS of $1.00 beat the $0.77 estimate by 29.87%, and the shares rose 13.08% in the next session. The stock now sits between a 200-day average that it has held and a 50-day average that it has not yet reclaimed, which is the core tension for holders at this price.
What the earnings record shows
Penguin Solutions has beaten the EPS estimate in each of the eight reports on record, and none missed. The October 6, 2026 report delivered adjusted EPS of $1.00 against a $0.77 estimate, a beat of 29.87%, and the shares rose 13.08% in the next session. The July 7, 2026 report produced the largest first-session move among the earlier reports, a gain of 25.13% after a beat of 50.00%.
Growth against the sector
Revenue grew 47.64% in the latest quarter, year on year, against a sector median of 24.2%, so growth is 23.4 percentage points faster than the sector. Analysts expect revenue to rise 41.7% this fiscal year and EPS to rise 58.8%, with a further 15.3% EPS growth next fiscal year. Return on equity of 27.56% is above the sector median of 13.4%, although the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.15 means the balance sheet carries meaningful borrowing.
Valuation and the price swing
Against that low valuation, the share price has swung widely: it fell 37.78% over the past month, rose 2.03% over six months and 135.98% over the past year. With a beta of 2.88 and a typical daily move of 8.83%, the stock reacts strongly to both good and bad news.
Insider selling and analyst positioning
Insiders made 24 sales worth $6.4M over the last 18 months and no open-market purchases. Such sales are often planned in advance or made to cover tax on vesting shares, so they are a weaker signal than purchases would be. On the analyst side, six of seven ratings three months ago were Buy, and today seven of eight are Buy, with one Sell from Barclays.
CleaRank score 74/100 (Buy). 13 of 18 checks pass: trend 2 of 4, momentum 1 of 3, valuation and quality 4 of 4, analysts 3 of 3, track record 3 of 4.

PENG price target 2026
The base case is that PENG keeps its earnings momentum while the price works back toward its moving averages. Revenue grew 47.64% in the latest quarter against the same quarter a year earlier, and analysts expect revenue to rise 41.7% this fiscal year and EPS to rise 58.8%. For that to show in the share price, the stock has to reclaim the 20-day and 50-day averages and hold above the 200-day average. Analysts' median 12-month target is $85.00, with a range of $60.00 to $100.00, and seven of eight analysts rate the stock Buy. The main risk is the stock's size of moves: its beta is 2.88 and its typical daily move is 8.83%, so a failure to hold the 200-day average would likely bring fast losses.
