In its most recent standalone quarter, SanDisk reported revenue of $2.31 billion, representing a 22.6% year-over-year increase, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.22, well above consensus of $0.89. This strength was fueled by robust AI-related NAND flash demand, as hyperscale data centers and edge computing deployments seek higher-speed, high-capacity storage solutions. Limited new supply has enabled the company to command favorable pricing per gigabyte, supporting both top-line growth and expanded gross margins.

SanDisk has guided second-quarter revenue between $2.55 billion and $2.65 billion, with gross margins projected in the 41%–43% range and non-GAAP operating expenses around $450 million. Management expects EPS of $3.00 to $3.40. The current consensus sits at approximately $2.68 billion in revenue and $3.31 per share, reflecting continued confidence that AI-driven storage requirements will sustain strong shipments and pricing. For full fiscal 2026, the company projects revenue growth of roughly 42% to $10.45 billion and a 552% year-over-year jump in earnings, with expectations for another more than two-fold EPS increase in fiscal 2027.

Since its separation from Western Digital last February, SanDisk’s share count has performed exceptionally, rising over 1,700% from post-spin-off lows and about 1,085% in the past six months alone. Institutional investors have taken notice, with firms such as Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services acquiring more than 30,000 shares recently. Analysts highlight the stock’s forward price-to-earnings ratio below 16x as attractive given the company’s rapid growth trajectory, though caution that any miss versus lofty expectations could prompt valuation concerns amid this sharp rally.
