Everpure, Inc. (P), the Santa Clara-based data storage and management platform provider formerly known as Pure Storage, staged a powerful rally on Thursday. The stock advanced approximately 18.27% to trade near $129.68 intraday, up from a previous-session close of $109.65, pushing the shares decisively through their prior 52-week high of $119.10. The move followed the company's 2026 Financial Analyst Meeting, at which management laid out a growth strategy and a preliminary long-term financial outlook that far exceeded the Street's forecast.
The clearest driver of the price rally was Everpure's introduction of a preliminary fiscal 2028 outlook. The company said it expects revenue of $7.0 billion to $7.3 billion, implying year-over-year growth of roughly 39% to 45%. That range came in well above analyst consensus of about $6.2 billion, a gap that immediately forced a reassessment of the company's growth trajectory.
Equally significant, Everpure projected fiscal 2028 non-GAAP operating income of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion, representing growth of approximately 80% to 100%. At the same time, management reaffirmed fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $5.03 billion to $5.07 billion, or 37% to 38% growth, along with non-GAAP operating income of $940 million to $960 million. The combination of a confirmed near-term plan and a materially improved multi-year framework gave investors an unusual degree of long-term visibility.
Beyond the numbers, Chief Executive Charlie Giancarlo framed the moment as an "inflection point" for the company as it broadens beyond traditional storage into AI-driven data management. Everpure outlined four growth pillars — Core and Core AI, Modern Data Software, Scale AI, and Hyperscale Solutions — and said the latter three are expected to account for roughly 20% of total revenue by fiscal 2030.
The company attributed its momentum to an integrated technology platform that has produced eight consecutive quarters of accelerating revenue growth, supported by sustained research-and-development investment. Recent hyperscaler design wins, including a second top-five hyperscaler agreement, have validated its DirectFlash technology and positioned it to capture data-center demand tied to the AI buildout.
The analyst-day disclosures drew an immediate bullish response from the sell side. Needham boosted its price target on P to $150 while maintaining a Buy rating. The stock already carried a consensus Buy rating ahead of the event, with an average price target near $130, and the fiscal 2028 outlook appeared to validate the more optimistic end of analyst expectations.
The upgrade followed a broader wave of constructive commentary in recent weeks, including higher targets from TD Cowen and Guggenheim and an upgrade from Citi tied to the company's expanding hyperscaler footprint. Everpure's recent addition to the S&P 500, effective September 21, has also broadened its institutional shareholder base.
The advance stood out against a largely flat tape. Major indices were little changed as investors weighed a cautious macroeconomic backdrop, and the sector provided no meaningful tailwind — underscoring that Thursday's move was driven by company-specific news rather than broad market sentiment.
Trading activity was heavy, with the stock rallying on well above-normal volume and clearing its prior 52-week high of $119.10 to set a fresh record. The breach of that technical ceiling, combined with the valuation gap exposed by the new guidance, helped accelerate buying during the session.
Investors will now focus on execution. The company's next earnings report, expected around early December, will test whether its aggressive growth targets remain on track, particularly as hyperscaler revenue begins to ramp. Management's ability to deliver on its 80% to 100% fiscal 2028 operating-income growth objective will be a central theme for the shares.
Risks remain. Everpure trades at a premium valuation relative to traditional storage peers, and its outlook depends on sustained AI-infrastructure spending, hyperscaler customer behavior, and its ability to manage NAND and component pricing pressures. Any sign of slowing data-center demand or competitive encroachment could temper the momentum that has driven the stock's recent re-rating.
