Overview
- Sandisk reported fiscal Q4 results with revenue near $9 billion and EPS of $39.25, and the board authorized a $14 billion share buyback.
- Management guided fiscal Q1 2027 revenue to $10.3 billion–$10.8 billion, a range some analysts viewed as conservative and that helped trigger a steep share pullback.
- The company and partner Kioxia announced a ninth‑generation flash chip that the firms say reads and writes about 33% faster and uses less power.
- Wall Street remains mostly positive but divided on value with price targets spread widely, while large institutions have added positions and some insiders have trimmed holdings.
- The core risk is cyclicality: stronger supply from competitors and softer NAND pricing could erode margins and reverse recent gains, a development that would directly affect data‑center customers and investor returns.
