As the spread of AI accelerates, Padu, which handles key components for data storage devices, is emerging as a beneficiary stock for enterprise storage. The securities industry expects its controller technology to gain greater attention in the market.

NH Investment Securities published a new company analysis report on Padu on the 25th, presenting an investment opinion of 'Not Rated.'

The report evaluated that the expansion of the AI industry is rapidly increasing demand for enterprise eSSD (enterprise solid state drives), and Padu's growth potential is rising in proportion. The analysis suggests that since Padu's core business is SSD controllers for data centers, it is expected to directly benefit from the increase in AI servers and the expansion of the high-performance storage market.

NH Investment Securities positively assessed Padu's continued increase in order backlog and long-term supply agreements with major partners. It predicted that since a stable customer base has already been secured, the future earnings growth trend is highly likely to continue.

Mid- to long-term growth drivers also drew attention. Padu is pursuing the development of next-generation SSD controllers while also preparing to enter the power management semiconductor (PMIC) market. The company was evaluated as diversifying its growth engines by adding new business areas to its existing controller business.

The securities industry projected that in the AI era, not only computing performance but also how quickly and efficiently data is stored and processed is becoming a core competitive advantage, meaning the strategic value of storage controller technology will grow even further.
