Sandisk delivered outstanding Q4 results, with revenue up 51% QoQ and 372% YoY and robust margin expansion. SNDK's AI-related NAND flash exposure is strengthening, driving new business agreements and positioning it attractively for future growth. Q1 revenue and EPS guidance are questionable, apparently.
Sandisk forecast quarterly revenue above estimates on Wednesday, banking on rising demand for its memory chips used in AI data centers.
SanDisk (SNDK) shares are inching lower in extended hours on Wednesday even though the flash memory products specialist delivered a massive top and bottom-line beat. The multinational more than quadrupled revenue to $8.97 billion in its fiscal Q4, on a remarkable $39.25 a share of earnings (EPS).
The midpoint of the company's revenue forecast was below what analysts had been modeling.
The company posted a higher net income of $6.9 billion as the artificial-intelligence buildout continued to fuel demand for data storage.
SanDisk (SNDK) is rated a 'Strong Buy' due to the transformative potential of its High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) product. HBF leverages NAND's density and cost advantages to address AI-driven memory shortages, positioning SanDisk as a design partner in next-gen architectures. First-gen HBF is projected to deliver 1.6TB/s bandwidth and 512GB per stack—over 20x HBM's capacity—unlocking significant market and margin expansion.
SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK | SNDK Price Prediction) is ripping higher, with shares jumping nearly 25% over the past five trading sessions.
SanDisk stock (NASDAQ: SNDK) was priced for a move of more than $200 after Wednesday's earnings, reflecting high uncertainty around a company with a bullish underlying story. Options expiring on Friday implied a swing of about $212.30, or 14.9%, in either direction, placing the stock between roughly $1,211 and $1,635.
Sandisk and Western Digital are both slated to report earnings after the closing bell Wednesday, in what could be an opportunity for the companies to rekindle investors' enthusiasm for their stocks.
SNDK's fiscal Q4 top line may gain from surging AI data center demand and stronger edge sales tied to AI PCs and premium smartphones.
Sandisk Corporation (SNDK) is rated 'Buy' ahead of Q4 2026 earnings, with risks largely priced in after recent sector volatility. SNDK's business model shift to multi-year contracts and strong forward guidance underpin expectations for durable revenue and margin strength. Recent forced selling and crowded positioning drove a sharp pullback, but SNDK now trades at a deep discount—potentially 64% undervalued on FY2027 estimates.
Sandisk Corporation is rated Hold ahead of Q4 earnings, despite strong recent performance and a low 5.7x FY2027 EPS multiple. I focus on four key tests for SNDK: shipment growth vs. pricing, Stargate datacenter ramp, contract coverage for FY2027, and Q1 margin guidance. Q3's outsized results were driven by ASP increases, not shipment growth; SNDK's Q4 must show durable volume and meaningful Stargate contribution.
