Brown Advisory Mid-Cap Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Everpure, Inc. (NYSE:PSTG) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
“Dollar turnover remained elevated during the fourth quarter and full year as we stuck to our process and our price targets. Name turnover remained consistent with our three to five-year investment time horizon during the year at 26%. During the fourth quarter, we found several opportunities to lean back into holdings that we trimmed or sold earlier in the year due to valuation, including Everpure, Inc. (NYSE:PSTG). In fact, the large swings in PSTG’s share price illustrate why dollar-based turnover has been elevated. The all-flash storage array maker enjoyed accelerating sales growth the last few quarters as more enterprises and hyperscalers adopted its superior storage solutions. Fundamentals have been in-line or better than our expectations. Nonetheless, despite consistently solid results, PSTG’s share price, as shown below, has taken a wild ride.”
