SNDK's Q2 FY26 earnings surged on 61% revenue growth, AI-driven datacenter demand, and stronger pricing, setting up solid short-term upside.
One of the things that get overlooked when a new disruptive paradigm is introduced into an industry is infrastructure.
With its biggest intraday drop in months immediately followed by its biggest intraday gain, Sandisk Corporation NASDAQ: SNDK has entered a new phase of price action. The stock had already been crowned one of the standout winners of 2025 before adding nearly 200% in the first few weeks of 2026.
SNDK's growing AI storage demand, BiCS8 execution and margin expansion point to a more durable growth profile post Q2.
Sandisk (SNDK) remains a strong buy, driven by surging NAND demand from AI, constrained supply, and robust pricing momentum. Key competitors like Samsung and SK Hynix are prioritizing memory/HBM over SSDs, tightening enterprise NAND supply and supporting SNDK's pricing power. AI workloads are accelerating NAND wear and replacement cycles, while hyperscalers are locking in long-term supply contracts with SNDK.
SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) stock is currently trending close to an all-time high of approximately $665, driven by stellar earnings and a substantial surge in demand for flash memory fueled by AI. What's the driving force behind this?
Data center revenue surged 64% sequentially to $440 million, accelerating the company's shift toward higher-margin enterprise storage solutions. Gross margin expanded to 51.1% from 29.9% year over year, with Q3 guidance pointing to 65%–67% levels. Q3 non-GAAP EPS is guided between $12 and $14, up sharply from $6.2 in Q2 and $1.22 in Q1.
Between November 2025 and February 2026, SanDisk (SNDK)'s shares skyrocketed by 242%, spurred by rising revenues and an increasing valuation multiple. The increase was driven by a strategic Western Digital spin-off, diminishing NAND supply, surging AI demand, impressive Q2 earnings, and a wave of optimistic analyst commentary.
As investors turned their back on software (notably, the seat-based software-as-a-service companies), they're turned towards hardware in a big-time way.
Sandisk's sales are soaring. The tech stock's price could rise another 50% from here.
Sandisk (SNDK) has surged over 600% post-spin-off, transforming into a high-margin, pure-play NAND and SSD leader amid the AI infrastructure boom. SNDK's Q2 2026 revenue soared 60% YoY to $3.03B, with net income up 672% and margins expanding to an impressive 51%. Structural NAND demand, driven by edge AI and decentralized inference, positions SNDK for sustained long-term growth versus cyclical peers like Micron (MU).
Among Wall Street analysts, Sandisk stock has a median target price of $690 per share. That implies 20% upside from its current share price of $576.
