AI investment wave represents an opportunity for Penguin Solutions to "unlock ROI for clients investing in Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) by addressing critical challenges, such as compute bottlenecks, insufficient memory bandwidth, and GPU failure diagnosis," the analyst wrote.

The company's expertise in hardware, software, and services could support margin expansion going ahead, Kanga stated. He further expressed optimism around Penguin Solutions' go-to-market strategy that is focused on "underserved mid-sized enterprise customers that lack extensive data center expertise."

While Penguin Solutions has attracted a strategic investment from South Korean conglomerate, SK Telecom, it has a "strong management team of seasoned operators with a wealth of experience in the computer hardware, data center, and semiconductor industries," the analyst said.
