The new DDR5 launch comes as Penguin Solutions shares trade at $21.83, with a solid year to date share price return suggesting early momentum, even though the 1 year total shareholder return and the 3 year total shareholder return point to a steadier, longer term compounding story rather than a sudden breakout.

With shares still trading at a discount to analyst targets and intrinsic value estimates despite steady revenue growth, is Penguin Solutions quietly undervalued here, or is the market already baking in the next leg of AI driven demand?
