Pure Storage (PSTG) steadies in premarket as buyback, next earnings come into focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 05:05 ET — Premarket

  • Pure Storage shares were indicated little changed at about $69.28 in early premarket trading.
  • The data-storage maker last raised full-year revenue and operating income guidance with its Dec. 2 results.
  • Investors are watching a planned Feb. 25 earnings date and U.S. housing data due later Monday.

Pure Storage shares were little changed at about $69.28 in early premarket trading on Monday. 1

The muted move keeps the focus on what comes next after a choppy December for the data-storage maker, which has been resetting expectations around AI-related demand and spending after its latest quarterly update. 2

With year-end trading typically thin, traders were looking ahead to Monday’s U.S. data releases and the company’s next scheduled investor events for fresh signals on demand and margins. 3

Pure Storage closed at $69.28 on Friday, up 3.42% from the prior close, according to the company’s investor relations quote page. 4

The stock remains about 31% below its 52-week high of $100.59 and well above its 52-week low of $34.51, the same page showed. 4

Peers in enterprise storage and infrastructure were modestly higher, with NetApp up about 0.4% and Nutanix up about 1.6% from their previous closes, according to market data.

Pure Storage sells all-flash data storage systems and related subscription services, pitching its platform as a way for enterprises to run applications across on‑premises and cloud environments. 2

In its third-quarter fiscal 2026 results on Dec. 2, the company reported revenue of $964.5 million, up 16% year over year, and subscription services revenue of $429.7 million, up 14%, it said. 2

Pure also reported subscription annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $1.8 billion — a measure of subscription revenue expected on an annualized basis — and remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $2.9 billion, which represent contracted revenue not yet recognized. 2

The company raised its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to $3.63 billion to $3.64 billion and forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $1.02 billion to $1.04 billion, the release showed. 2

On Dec. 10, Pure Storage announced its board approved an additional $400 million share repurchase authorization, on top of about $20 million remaining under an earlier program. 5

“This largest-ever share repurchase authorization for Pure Storage is a direct reflection of our strategic value, long-term trajectory, and strong financial position,” CFO Tarek Robbiati said in that release. 5

Investors are also looking to the next earnings update: Pure Storage has flagged Feb. 25, 2026 as its planned earnings date for fiscal fourth-quarter results, while noting the date is approximate for planning purposes. 6

Later Monday, the National Association of Realtors is scheduled to release its pending home sales index for November at 10 a.m. Eastern, a data point markets watch as a read on housing demand and interest-rate sensitivity. 3
