Meridian Contrarian Fund ArrowMark Partners | “Penguin Solutions, Inc. is a diversified technology company that designs and manufactures solutions in the computing, memory, and LED industries. We first invested in the company in 2020 on the heels of an earnings decline due to volatility in the memory business, order delays in its high-performance computing segment, and near-term dilution from investments in new products. After strong performance earlier in the year, the stock declined during the quarter as growth in its advanced computing division moderated against difficult comparisons tied to prior hyperscaler orders. With hyperscaler customers internalizing certain capabilities, Penguin has shifted its focus toward enterprises and sovereign customers for its next phase of growth. We added to the position on weakness during the quarter after reducing exposure into strength earlier in the year. We continue to maintain a large position based on the company's earnings growth prospects, strong balance sheet, high returns on invested capital, and reasonable valuation at less than 10x earnings. BSD Analysis: Penguin Solutions operates in data center and edge infrastructure where reliability matters more than branding. Its solutions are embedded into customer workflows, making replacement costly and disruptive. Demand tracks long-cycle compute and storage needs, not consumer tech sentiment. Investors overlook the company due to low narrative appeal. Yet as AI and high-performance computing scale, infrastructure support becomes more valuable. Margins benefit from specialization rather than volume chasing. Execution consistency is the real asset here. This is quiet infrastructure leverage hiding in plain sight.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
