  • The company guided fiscal Q3 revenue to $4.4 billion–$4.8 billion with non-GAAP EPS of $12–$14 and gross margins approaching the mid‑60% range.
  • AI-fueled demand for high-capacity enterprise SSDs and tight NAND supply supported higher pricing, with data center revenue reaching $440 million, up 76% year over year.
