AI CONVICTION THESIS

Penguin Solutions designs and deploys AI computing clusters and specialty memory, and also owns an LED business. The shares rose about 10% after an upbeat growth outlook, and the company is running a buyback. Its AI factory platform is winning distributed data-centre projects, and it is addressing the power bottleneck in AI data centres. However, much of its revenue is low-margin hardware integration and cyclical memory, and results depend on a few large customers.

SwingsVery bumpy

Swung more than 91% of stocks we rank over the past year (85% a year).

How this is worked out

What it measures: day-to-day price moves over the past year, as a yearly figure, ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.

What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.

Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.

Rules fixed before any data was fetched. Describes the chart, not a recommendation.
