Out of 19 brokerages polled in a Sunday ratings roundup, 13 still rate the stock a buy, five call it a hold, and just one has a sell; the consensus remains “Moderate Buy.” Their average price target sits at $93.21 for the next 12 months, or roughly 19% above Friday’s close at $78.16.

The next milestone is around the corner. Everpure plans to talk through its fiscal first-quarter 2027 results—covering the period ended May 3—on a conference call scheduled for 2 p.m. PT, May 27. The company will publish the numbers ahead of the call.
The upcoming quarterly update is a key one for investors—it’s the first since the company once known as Pure Storage adopted the new Everpure brand and jumped to the single-letter NYSE ticker “P.” Back in April, Everpure said the ticker switch matched the February rebrand and signaled its ambitions to grow from storage into data management, aiming at the AI space.

The latest numbers raise the stakes. Everpure posted fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $1.1 billion, up 20% year-over-year, with full-year revenue reaching $3.7 billion, a 16% increase. Remaining performance obligations—business locked in but not yet recognized as revenue—jumped 40% to $3.7 billion. “Everpure delivered an outstanding fourth quarter, achieving our first billion-dollar revenue quarter,” Chief Executive Charles Giancarlo said in February.

The company is calling for first-quarter revenue between $990 million and $1.01 billion in fiscal 2027, with full-year sales pegged at $4.3 billion to $4.4 billion. For non-GAAP operating income—stripping out certain costs—Pure Storage expects $125 million to $135 million for Q1, with the annual figure coming in between $780 million and $820 million.
Chief Financial Officer Tarek Robbiati pointed to steady demand from both enterprise clients and hyperscalers, noting Everpure’s efforts to steer through ongoing supply-chain imbalances. Hyperscalers—major cloud and internet players—tend to purchase infrastructure in bulk.
The picture isn’t straightforward. In an April letter, Giancarlo noted Everpure’s average prices had climbed roughly 70% since early 2026—this after input costs for key semiconductor components surged between 300% and 900% starting mid-2025. He added the company had no plans to “profiteer” from the situation, insisting they’re shouldering some of the rising costs themselves. Pure Storage
Competition is tightening. Everpure, in its most recent annual report, described data storage as “intensely competitive”—singling out Dell EMC, NetApp, and HPE as legacy players with wide portfolios and stronger resources. The company also pointed to cloud providers and hyperconverged vendors as additional alternatives.
On May 27, investors want clarity: Is AI-fueled demand, along with orders from hyperscalers, still doing enough heavy lifting to counter rising costs in flash storage, DRAM, and related parts? A dip in margins or hesitation on big orders could turn the stock’s current analyst-target spread into something less bullish—a signal to hold back, not pile in.
