NetApp (NasdaqGS:NTAP) Slides 22% Following Revenue Forecast Impact

Simply Wall St.
03-08

NetApp experienced a significant stock decline of 22% over the last week, a movement that coincides with the company's latest announcement outlining its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025 guidance. The expected net revenues and earnings per share are specific forecasts that often prompt market reactions. Meanwhile, the broader market showed volatility as concerns over tariffs and an economic slowdown contributed to a 3% fall for the Nasdaq Composite. When understanding NetApp's price downturn, these market pressures combined with the company's internal dynamics, such as executive changes and their ongoing share buyback, may have influenced investor sentiment. The broader technology sector faced struggles, reflected in declines among other major tech stocks. Despite announcing healthy dividend affirmations, NetApp's latest performance results showed a mixed picture with declining quarterly net income year-over-year. These factors collectively paint a comprehensive picture of NetApp's share price trajectory in a turbulent market environment.

Take a closer look at NetApp's potential here.

NasdaqGS:NTAP Earnings Per Share Growth as at Mar 2025

Over the past 5 years, NetApp's total return, which encompasses both share price and dividends, reached an impressive 193.99%. This growth came amid significant corporate actions and external partnerships that positioned the company within the technology sector's competitive landscape. NetApp's commitment to shareholder value was illustrated through consistent share buybacks, notably repurchasing 1.65 million shares for US$199.97 million by early 2025. Additionally, robust dividend payments, declared as recently as early 2025 with a payout of US$0.52 per share, contributed positively to investor returns.

Critical enhancements to their product suite, such as the introduction of the NetApp ASA A-Series in February 2025, demonstrated their focus on expanding high-performance enterprise storage offerings. Meanwhile, partnerships like that with the San Francisco 49ers helped bolster market presence and broadened their appeal to new client segments. Comparative industry analysis highlighted NetApp's strong valuation metrics, with its Price-To-Earnings Ratio at 16.4x, favorably positioned against both industry and peers, underpinning its long-term performance.
