Strong Market Position and Growth Potential Drive Buy Rating for Pure Storage

J.P. Morgan analyst Pinjalim Bora maintained a Buy rating on Pure Storage (PSTG – Research Report) today and set a price target of $70.00.

Pinjalim Bora has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Pure Storage’s strong market position and growth potential. The company has demonstrated a solid start to the year, with all key metrics surpassing expectations, and management has maintained its full-year guidance despite macroeconomic uncertainties. This performance is supported by a 12% year-over-year revenue growth, driven primarily by product revenue, and notable traction in both traditional and OpEx-based sales.
Additionally, Pure Storage’s innovative product offerings, such as the Fusion 2.0 and Evergreen//One, have been well-received, with significant customer adoption and AI-related wins. The company’s focus on flash-based storage and rapid innovation cycle positions it favorably against competitors, allowing it to maintain a competitive edge. Furthermore, the company’s pricing strategy for its Evergreen portfolio remains unaffected by tariff changes, providing cost predictability for customers. These factors, combined with a positive outlook for future bookings and profitability, underpin Bora’s confidence in Pure Storage’s continued success.
