Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation U.S. Domestication: On June 30, 2025, we consummated the redomiciliation of the parent company of our corporate group, Penguin Solutions (Cayman), Inc., formerly known as Penguin Solutions, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Penguin Solutions Cayman”), from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware in the United States, resulting in Penguin Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Penguin Solutions Delaware”), becoming our publicly traded parent company (the “U.S. Domestication”). The U.S. Domestication was approved by the shareholders of Penguin Solutions Cayman and effected via a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Cayman Islands law, pursuant to which each ordinary share of Penguin Solutions Cayman was exchanged for one share of common stock of Penguin Solutions Delaware, and each convertible preferred share of Penguin Solutions Cayman was exchanged for one share of convertible preferred stock of Penguin Solutions Delaware. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penguin Solutions Cayman and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the U.S. Domestication, and the accounts of Penguin Solutions Delaware and its consolidated subsidiaries after the consummation of the U.S. Domestication. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Penguin Solutions,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (i) for periods prior to the consummation of the U.S. Domestication refer to Penguin Solutions Cayman and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) for periods at or after the consummation of the U.S. Domestication refer to Penguin Solutions Delaware and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, to fairly state the financial information set forth herein. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2025 Annual Report. Fiscal Year: Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Friday in August. Fiscal years 2026 and 2025 each contain 52 weeks. All period references are to our fiscal periods unless otherwise indicated.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging and Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted this standard at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 on a prospective basis and in connection with the contingent consideration arrangement received as part of the disposition of our investment in Celestial AI, as described under “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Cash and Investments – Celestial AI.” The adoption of ASU 2025-07 enabled us to determine that the contingent consideration arrangement qualified for the scope exception under ASC 815 and was not accounted for as a derivative instrument at the transaction date. Instead, we have elected a policy to recognize any gain from this arrangement when the consideration becomes realizable. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption but will affect the timing of recognition of any future gains related to this contingent consideration. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Improvements to the Accounting for and Disclosure of Internal-Use Software, which replaces the previous stage-based model for capitalizing internal-use software development costs with a principles-based approach. Under the new guidance, capitalization begins when management authorizes and commits to funding a project and it is probable the project will be completed and used as intended. The ASU also incorporates website development guidance into ASC 350-40 and introduces the concept of “significant development uncertainty,” which, if present, would delay capitalization. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an annual period. The new guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified prospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, though we do not expect there to be a material impact. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods in those years. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU 2025-05 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses, as well as a qualitative description of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us in 2028 for annual reporting and in 2029 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We do not expect ASU 2024-03 to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are intended to increase transparency through improvements to annual disclosures primarily related to income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us in 2026 for annual reporting, with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. We are evaluating the timing and effects of this ASU on our income tax disclosures.
