Everpure (P) grew revenue 38% from a year earlier in fiscal Q2 2027, and management expects that pace to last for some time. The stock costs 144.1 times its past year of earnings, against 22.4 for the S&P 500. Two things must hold. Customers must keep paying far higher prices, and Everpure must keep getting parts at costs it can absorb. Is the cost of Everpure's parts already climbing?
Memory Chip Costs Keep Rising For Everpure
Yes, and the climbing cost is chips. Management said on the fiscal Q2 2027 call that rising chip demand and cost continue to affect the whole industry. It also described a tight supply market. So Everpure bought NAND, a type of memory chip, and other key parts early to soften further price increases.
Management has raised this risk itself. It said it had been unsure about demand while buyers adjusted to unprecedented price increases. On the same call, it said two worries had gone away. One was sourcing parts. The other was how customers would react to far higher prices.
Demand has held up so far. Management says demand is strong even amid substantial price increases across the industry. It also says Everpure is pricing at a level not seen in 10 years. Customers are still paying for now, and that matters most for Everpure's product revenue.
How Much Revenue Does Everpure Get From Products?
Product revenue was $2.0 billion in fiscal 2026, up 16% from the year before. Growth was faster in fiscal Q2 2027, when product revenue rose 54% from a year earlier.
Everpure's product margin sits near the bottom of its own range. Product gross margin is the share of product sales left after the direct cost of the goods. It was 66.2% in the quarter, on the company's adjusted basis. Management chose to run at the low end of its 65% to 70% range to win market share. It says the choice is deliberate and that it is in complete control of its gross margins.
Buying parts early has cost cash. Operating cash flow was negative $136 million in the quarter, mainly because of those component purchases.
Even so, Everpure's profit margins are the best they have been in five years. Its operating margin, the share of sales left after all running costs, was 5.3% over the past twelve months. The shares are also only 7.2% below their 52-week high. Margins at a five-year high and a stock near its high leave little room for error. Either one could slip if customers stop paying up or parts get costlier.
Will Everpure's Customers Keep Paying Up?
Everpure's customers are still buying, and management says its worry about their reaction to far higher prices has gone away. Even so, demand is the less secure of the two things that must hold. The threat so far shows up in costs and cash, not in sales. Revenue growth alone does not show how that growth was made.
Everpure sold fewer systems in fiscal Q2 2027. Higher prices, a mix of higher-end systems and more capacity per system made up the difference. Management says only some of the faster growth came from price increases.
Product buyers face steeper price increases. Price increases on Evergreen//One, Everpure's subscription offering, stayed well below those on product purchases. So if customers push back on price, product revenue is the likeliest place to feel it.
The stock returned 51% over the past three months, against 5.0% for the S&P 500. A holder who bought before that run has the most to give back if product revenue slows.
Supply looks like the smaller worry. Management says Everpure now has enough parts for the foreseeable future, though it gave no detail. Demand holds too, but Everpure is already selling fewer systems.
Management expects fiscal Q3 2027 revenue of $1.325 billion to $1.335 billion. When Everpure reports fiscal Q3 2027, revenue below that range would suggest customers are pushing back on price.
