About NetApp

Strong AI and flash storage growth with 46.6% all-flash revenue increase and 350 new AI deals in Q1. Revenue guidance raised to 17% growth midpoint. However, positive sentiment is tempered by premium valuation (19.5X forward earnings) and gross margin compression, creating execution risk.
Strong Q1 earnings beat (9.9% revenue beat, 21.1% EPS beat), record all-flash revenue growth of 46.6%, approximately 350 new AI deals with customers moving to production workloads, and significantly raised fiscal 2027 guidance ($650M above prior guidance). Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) with Momentum Score of A supports positive outlook.
Posted record Q1 results with 30% YoY revenue growth to $2.02B (beating estimates by 10%), crushed EPS expectations by 21% ($2.58 vs $2.13), achieved record all-flash array revenue up 47%, landed 350 AI/data-lake deals, and significantly raised FY2027 guidance by $650M to $7.98-$8.23B with 22% EPS growth.

NetApp significantly beat both EPS estimates (+21.13% surprise) and revenue expectations (+9.86%), with consistent outperformance over the last four quarters.

Strong earnings growth of 37.4% YoY with revenue growth of 18.2% YoY. Upward revision of consensus EPS estimates (1.3% over 30 days) indicates improving analyst sentiment. Growth across key segments including public cloud (+21.9%) and hybrid cloud (+18.3%). Stock has outperformed S&P 500 and carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) rating, suggesting positive near-term outlook.
While NetApp showed strong year-to-date performance (+11.9%) and positive earnings growth expectations (36.77% YoY), the stock declined 1.64% on a day when the broader market gained. The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating and elevated Forward P/E ratio of 21.43 (more than double the industry average of 10.07) suggest the stock is fairly valued but not compelling at current levels. The upcoming earnings report presents both opportunity and risk.
