Pure Storage (PSTG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Pure Storage Inc. experienced robust sales growth of 8.9% year-over-year, primarily driven by increases in renewals of Evergreen//One subscriptions and strong product sales, culminating in revenue of $879.8 million which exceeded management's guidance by 11%. The operating margin improved significantly, growing 198 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 20.1%, attributed to strong product gross margins and effective cost management, surpassing expectations. Furthermore, the company’s subscription services annual recurring revenue (ARR) rose 22% year-over-year to $1.57 billion, indicating solid growth potential and a strong position for driving sustainable revenue increases and expanded operating margins in the future.
Bears say
Pure Storage's stock outlook appears negative primarily due to significant challenges stemming from a decline in NAND pricing, which has negatively impacted revenue guidance, particularly in 3QFY20. The company's gross margin has decreased, reflecting ongoing pressure from market dynamics and an increased mix of lower-margin products, resulting in a year-over-year decline of 211 basis points. Additionally, a reduction in cash and short-term investments from $1.820 billion to $1.649 billion, coupled with ongoing inventory declines, suggests potential liquidity concerns that may further hinder growth prospects.
