- SanDisk reported a blockbuster quarter on April 30 with non‑GAAP EPS of $23.41 and revenue of $5.95 billion, results that prompted raised guidance and a wave of analyst upgrades.

- S&P Global Ratings raised SanDisk’s credit to BB+ after the company repaid long‑term debt and reached a net cash position of about $3.7 billion, a move analysts say strengthens the firm’s balance sheet.
- Shares have surged more than 4,000% over the past year, but analysts warn key risks remain, including delivering on the contracts and HBF roadmap, how later variable pricing will flow through to earnings, valuation stretch, and recent insider and institutional selling.
