Penguin Solutions, Inc. is a global technology company focused on designing and delivering advanced enterprise solutions. Its business operations are segmented into three primary divisions: Advanced Computing, Integrated Memory, and Optimized LED. Within its Integrated Memory segment, the company supplies sophisticated memory solutions, including dynamic random access memory (DRAM) modules, solid-state drives (SSDs), and flash storage. These offerings cater to demanding applications in networking, telecommunications, data analytics, and artificial intelligence/machine learning. This segment also provides comprehensive supply chain management services, encompassing procurement, logistics, inventory control, temporary warehousing, programming, kitting, and packaging. The Advanced Computing division features several key product lines. Penguin Computing delivers specialized technical computing for core data centers and cloud environments, focusing on high-performance computing (HPC) and AI solutions. Penguin Edge offers robust edge computing tailored for embedded and wireless applications, serving critical sectors such as government, healthcare, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Moreover, the Stratus brand provides inherently fault-tolerant computing solutions—combining hardware and software—that are simplified, protected, and autonomous for both data center and edge deployments, supporting industries like education, energy, financial services, government, hyperscale, and manufacturing. The Optimized LED segment produces advanced LED components under the Cree LED brand, including blue and green gallium nitride-based LED chips and associated materials. It also manufactures surface mount devices (SMDs) under the Cree LED XLamp and J Series brands. Penguin Solutions reaches its diverse clientele, which includes original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), enterprise clients, government entities, and other end-users, through a multi-channel sales approach. This includes a direct sales force, e-commerce platforms, customer service teams, on-site field application engineers, independent sales representatives, distributors, integrators, and resellers. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, the company will officially adopt the name Penguin Solutions, Inc. in October 2024, having previously operated as SMART Global Holdings, Inc.

Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Last updated: Jul 8, 2026 10:23pm (1h ago)
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
