Quick Read

  • SNDK reports Q4 FY26 tonight with consensus at $34.52 EPS and $8.39B revenue, already above management's own guidance range.

  • Polymarket traders assign a 98.5% probability of another beat after last quarter's 645% YoY Datacenter surge and 60% EPS surprise.

  • At 44x earnings and a $211B market cap, an in-line report risks multiple compression after SNDK's 500%-plus YTD run.

SanDisk Q4 Earnings Coverage Wrap-Up

That wraps up our initial coverage of SanDisk’s Q4 results. Thank you for stopping by!

SanDisk Generates $5 Billion in Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Unveils $14 Billion Buyback

SanDisk produced $7.08 billion in free cash flow during the fiscal fourth quarter and $5.04 billion in adjusted free cash flow after accounting for payments and deposits related to its New Business Model agreements.

For the full fiscal year, adjusted free cash flow reached $8.74 billion, compared with just $238 million one year earlier. Cash and cash equivalents finished the year at $4.76 billion.

SanDisk’s board responded by authorizing an additional $14 billion share-repurchase program, bringing its total remaining authorization to $15.5 billion. The massive buyback reflects management’s belief that AI-driven growth in earnings and cash flow can prove durable.

SanDisk’s Data Center Revenue Doubles in Just Three Months

Artificial intelligence demand is rapidly transforming SanDisk’s business. Data Center revenue reached $2.98 billion during the fiscal fourth quarter, more than doubling sequentially from $1.47 billion.

For the full fiscal year, Data Center revenue skyrocketed 437% to $5.15 billion as SanDisk shifted toward higher-value customers. Edge revenue also jumped 195% to $12.16 billion, while the Consumer segment grew a much slower 29%.

SanDisk has now signed five additional New Business Model agreements since its April earnings call, including three contracts with new customers and two expansions of existing deals.

The company has doubled its announced NBM agreement count to 10 in just a few months, strengthening the case that AI storage demand extends well beyond a single quarter.

SanDisk Guides for Another Monster Quarter Despite 3% Selloff

SanDisk’s fiscal fourth-quarter results crushed Wall Street expectations, and management expects the momentum to continue into fiscal 2027.

The company guided for first-quarter revenue between $10.3-$10.8 billion, representing another 15% to 20% sequential increase from the fourth quarter’s $8.97 billion. SanDisk also expects adjusted EPS between $44 and $46, up from $39.25 during the latest quarter.

Adjusted gross margin is projected to be between 83% and 85%, remaining close to the extraordinary 84.6% achieved in Q4. Despite the strong outlook, SanDisk shares initially fell 5%, suggesting investors had already priced in another significant increase in guidance.

SanDisk Q4 Earnings Are Out - Stock Down 5% on Results

SanDisk just reported earnings, with shares initially falling 5% despite beating expectations. Here are the key numbers:

  • Revenue: $8.965 billion vs. $8.39 billion expected
  • Adjusted EPS: $39.25 vs. $34.52 expected

Quick Read:

SanDisk crushed expectations, beating revenue estimates by 7% and EPS expectations by 14%, but the stock still dropped following the release.

Revenue exploded 372% year over year and 51% sequentially, while EPS climbed 68% from the previous quarter.

4 Wildcards That Could Surprise Investors With Sandisk's Earnings Tonight

Beyond the bull/bear debate, four wildcards aren’t fully priced in ahead of tonight’s report.

Under-the-Radar Catalysts

  • Options term structure divergence: Aug 7 calls and puts are near parity at 1.04:1, but Jan 2027 LEAPS show puts dominating calls 3.7:1. Institutional hedging suggests skepticism about margin durability.
  • Kioxia JV concentration: Flash Ventures manufacturing dependence remains a single point of failure; any commentary on Kioxia capacity expansion could pressure NAND ASPs.
  • Tariff and FX exposure: Global manufacturing footprint means trade-policy escalation or dollar swings can compress the guided 78.9% to 80.9% gross margin.
  • Intraday tape: Shares are down 2.94% today with a 69.76-point swing, signaling fragile positioning into the release.

SanDisk's Bull vs Bear Case After Soaring 500% in 2026

With SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK | SNDK Price Prediction) up 501.41% year-to-date and shares at $1,401.47, the setup is loaded.

Bull Case

  • Datacenter revenue grew 645% YoY last quarter, with guidance calling for $7.75B–$8.25B in Q4 revenue and non-GAAP EPS of $30.00–$33.00.
  • Gross margin expanded to 78.4%, aided by BiCS8 ramp and NBM contracts providing visibility.
  • Polymarket assigns a 94.6% probability of a beat, with 18 Buy ratings.

Bear Case

  • Valuation is stretched: market cap near $211.42 billion, P/E of 44.
  • NAND pricing is cyclical; peak margins may not persist.
  • Shares already dropped 18.19% over the past month, signaling fragile positioning.
  • Reddit sentiment swung from 78 to 18 in days, reflecting retail whiplash.

Top 5 Analyst Questions Ahead of SanDisk's Q4 Earnings Tonight

With SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) reporting after the close and Polymarket odds now at 94.6% for a beat, here’s what to listen for on the call.

Top 5 Analyst Questions

  1. How many additional NBM contracts were signed, and can bit coverage exceed 50% of FY27?
  2. Is Datacenter growth still tracking mid-70s% for calendar 2026?
  3. QLC Stargate ramp progress and hyperscaler qualifications?
  4. Pace of the $6 billion buyback?
  5. HBF system timing into early-to-mid 2027?

Key Topics & Buzzwords

  • Listen for “inflection point,” “structurally higher earnings power,” BiCS8, KV cache, and disciplined supply.
  • Watch fiscal 2027 mix commentary and Kioxia JV cadence.

Red Flags

  • Consumer weakness worsening beyond -10% sequential.
  • Guidance merely meeting the $30.00 to $33.00 EPS range.
  • Any softening in NAND pricing language.

SanDisk Q4 Earnings Are Out After the Close

SanDisk reports fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 earnings after the closing bell, with Wall Street expecting adjusted earnings of $34.52 per share on $8.39 billion in revenue.

The biggest questions surround NAND pricing, the company’s growing exposure to data centers, and execution on its NBM contracts. SanDisk’s Data Center revenue soared 645% year over year last quarter, placing the AI memory buildout at the center of tonight’s report.

Prediction-market traders are highly confident, with Polymarket assigning a 98.5% probability that SanDisk beats earnings expectations again.

A strong beat accompanied by a richer fiscal 2027 product mix and additional NBM contracts would strengthen the case that SanDisk has entered an era of structurally higher earnings power. However, guidance merely in-line with expectations could trigger multiple compression following the stock’s extraordinary run.

SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) reports Q4 FY2026 results today after the bell at 4:05 PM ET. Shares sit at $1,419.96 after a 501.41% year-to-date run, making tonight’s earnings report the highest-stakes report since the Western Digital separation.

Momentum Meets Execution Risk

Q3 FY26 marked what CEO David Goeckeler called “a fundamental inflection point.” Revenue landed at $5.95 billion, up 251% YoY, while non-GAAP EPS of $23.41 beat consensus by 59.67%.

Gross margin expanded to 78.4% from 22.5% a year earlier, powered by NAND pricing and a Datacenter mix shift. Free cash flow hit $2.99 billion, and the company retired $650 million in debt to reach a zero long-term debt balance sheet. However, shares are down 18.19% over the past month, signaling the bar has moved.

Consensus Estimates

Metric Q4 FY26 Estimate Company Guide
Revenue $8.39B $7.75B to $8.25B
EPS (Non-GAAP) $34.52 $30.00 to $33.00
Non-GAAP Gross Margin n/a 79.0% to 81.0%

The Street already sits above management’s own top-line and bottom-line ranges. Consensus embeds continued Datacenter mix leverage and further NAND ASP expansion, leaving little room for in-line results to satisfy investors.

What I’m Watching: Datacenter Mix, NBM Commitments, and Margin Cadence

Tonight, I’ll be watching to see whether Datacenter sustains its 233% sequential pace, because that segment now anchors the company’s structural earnings-power thesis. Analysts will also focus on how many of the five signed NBM agreements translate into revenue linearity and whether management adds more customers under firm financial commitments.

Gross margin cadence matters next. Guidance calls for 79.0% to 81.0%, and I want commentary on how pricing holds into FY27 given the structural NAND shortage narrative through 2028. Consumer weakness is worth tracking as well after a 10% sequential decline last quarter.

Management tone on Kioxia, BiCS8 ramp, and share repurchase pacing will shape the post-report reaction. Reddit sentiment flipped bullish only recently, with the “SNDK Holders – we’re so back!!” post gaining traction, while options traders lean neutral with a 0.79 put/call ratio.

Quarter EPS Surprise 1-Day Move 1-Week Move 30-Day Move
