Pure Storage (PSTG) shares plummeted 11.89% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, following the release of its third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings results. The drop occurred despite the company reporting revenue and earnings that exceeded analyst expectations and raising its full-year revenue guidance.
The data storage company posted adjusted earnings of $0.58 per share, matching the FactSet consensus estimate, while revenue rose 16% year-over-year to $964.5 million, surpassing the $955.9 million forecast. Pure Storage also lifted its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $3.63 billion-$3.64 billion, up from its previous range of $3.60 billion-$3.63 billion.
Investors appear to have reacted negatively to the results, possibly due to concerns about future growth or profit margins, as the stock declined sharply despite the positive earnings and guidance.
