Stifel also raised its price target to $85 from $75 and maintained a 'Buy' rating. The firm's fiscal Q4 results “meaningfully exceeded” its and consensus estimates, with upside strength from the Memory and Computing segments, according to The Fly.

Goldman, Needham Highlight AI And Memory Growth

Goldman Sachs raised its price target to $85 from $75 and maintained a 'Buy' rating. The firm cited Penguin's strong fourth quarter (Q4) results and higher  fiscal 2027 (FY27) guidance across Advanced Computing and Integrated Memory on robust AI infrastructure demand, according to The Fly.

Needham raised its target to $85 from $80 and maintained a 'Buy' rating after Penguin's better-than-expected Q4 results and higher FY27 outlook, The Fly reported.
