A Pullback Inside a Historic Run
SanDisk is up 2,879% over the past year and 410% year to date, yet slipped 29.82% in the past month.
That drawdown coincided with the fiscal Q4 report on August 5, 2026, where non-GAAP EPS of $39.25 beat consensus of $33.28 by 17.94% and revenue jumped 371.6% YoY to $8.965 billion. The market locked in gains on a record quarter.
Datacenter segment revenue grew 437% for the full year, and the board authorized an additional $14 billion buyback on a zero long-term debt balance sheet.
Why Bulls See a Breakout Ahead
The bull thesis centers on datacenter mix shift. Datacenter revenue climbed from $269 million in Q1 FY26 to $2.977 billion in Q4. CEO David Goeckeler described this as a “fundamental inflection point” and signed five additional New Business Model agreements since April.
Q1 FY27 guidance calls for revenue of $10.30 billion to $10.80 billion and EPS of $44 to $46. Management flagged an emerging Key Value Cache opportunity that could add 75 to 100 additional exabytes of 2027 demand, not baked into guidance. Wall Street consensus sits at $2,116.64, and our bull case points to $2,436.15.
What Could Go Wrong
NAND is cyclical. Reddit chatter leaned bearish on DUV lithography concerns and memory sector rotation, with put/call ratios elevated at 5.49 for September 11 and 3.10 for January 2027. SanDisk relies on its Kioxia joint venture, and tariff risk remains.
Bulls counter that the recent 30% drawdown prices meaningful cyclical fear, and the 61.19% operating margin plus $11.494 billion in FY26 free cash flow give management room to buy back stock aggressively. Our bear case lands at $1,329.59, a positive return from current levels.
How SanDisk Compares to Micron and Western Digital
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) competes for the same AI datacenter memory wallet. It posted fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46 billion, up 345.7% YoY, with non-GAAP EPS of $25.11. Micron carries a market cap of $991 billion, roughly 5.6x SanDisk’s $176.98 billion. That gap suggests SanDisk has room as datacenter mix scales.
Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) is SanDisk’s former parent and now a pure-play HDD story. WDC posted Q4 FY26 revenue of $3.75 billion, up 43.8% YoY, with non-GAAP gross margin of 54.4%. SanDisk’s GAAP gross margin of 84.6% reflects NAND pricing power that HDDs cannot match. On that spread, our target looks reasonable rather than aggressive.
SanDisk Price Prediction 2026-2030
Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for SanDisk is $1,882.90 with a buy recommendation and 90% confidence. The scale tips on datacenter mix: five consecutive EPS beats, $15.5 billion in remaining buyback authorization, and Q1 FY27 guidance implying sequential acceleration.
The setup favors continued upside if NAND pricing holds through fall, with risk skewing lower if Kioxia supply agreements loosen or hyperscaler qualifications slip past year-end.
| Year | 24/7 Wall St. Price Target |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $1,882.90 |
| 2027 | $2,410 |
| 2028 | $2,975 |
| 2029 | $3,500 |
| 2030 | $4,049.97 |
These projections assume SanDisk executes on datacenter mix shift and NAND pricing remains structurally supported. Significant upside or downside could come from Key Value Cache adoption, Kioxia terms, or industry cycle turns.
