Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$145.24

-35.8% from spot

The Base case reflects the modal trajectory of a mature compounder executing steadily within its core enterprise storage markets. Revenue expands at 3% to 4% annually in line with corporate guidance ($6.75B midpoint), as robust commercial execution in the Americas offsets European macro stagnation ($2,358M EMEA revenue) and federal budget timing,. Component pricing agreements protect gross margins, allowing operating margins to normalize near 26.0%-27.5%. High cash conversion yields resilient free cash flow exceeding $1.8B, compounding EPS toward $11.12 in FY2028 and anchoring the house fair value midpoint at $145.24.

Annual revenue grows at 3%-4% in line with FY2026 guidance ($6.63B-$6.88B), with Americas enterprise strength offsetting EMEA softness.
Operating margins normalize between 26.0% and 27.5%, supported by locked-in component procurement pricing.
Free cash flow remains steady at $1.8B-$2.0B on low capital expenditure of $198M.
Diluted EPS reaches consensus estimate of $11.12 by FY2028, supported by 1.5%-2.0% annual net share buybacks.

Bull20%

Price target

$171.74

-24.1% from spot

In the Bull scenario, enterprise adoption of NetApp's all-flash architectures accelerates as enterprise AI pipelines transition from pilot data lakes (20% of wins) and training projects (45% of wins) into production deployments. High-performance flash outgrows capacity flash, lifting Hybrid Cloud revenue. Co-engineered public cloud storage offerings scale rapidly, driving Public Cloud gross margins to 80%-85% as initial hardware depreciates. Consolidated operating margins expand toward 29%, expanding free cash flow above $2.0B and driving high-end fair value toward $171.74.

Hybrid Cloud revenue growth accelerates toward 6%-8% driven by enterprise AI deal win conversions (>125 wins in Q1).
Public Cloud gross margins expand to the top of guided range at 80%-85% on hardware depreciation roll-offs.
Consolidated operating margins reach 28%-29%, lifting free cash flow above $2.0B.
Diluted share count shrinks at 2.0% annually, driving FY2028 diluted EPS toward $12.72.
