SanDisk Surges on Blowout Quarter, Big Guidance and 2034 Kioxia Supply Extension

AI-driven demand for data‑center flash is outpacing available supply, pushing buyers to secure capacity and reinforcing SanDisk’s pricing power.

Overview

  • Fiscal Q2 revenue reached $3.03 billion with adjusted EPS of $6.20, topping analyst estimates by wide margins.
  • SanDisk guided Q3 revenue to $4.4–$4.8 billion and adjusted EPS to $12–$14, with gross margins projected at 65%–67%, well ahead of consensus.
  • Data‑center revenue rose 76% year over year and 64% sequentially as CEO David Goeckeler said customers are prioritizing supply over price for AI inference buildouts.
  • To secure long‑term flash output, SanDisk extended its Kioxia supply agreement through 2034, preserving joint‑venture manufacturing capacity in Japan.
  • Shares jumped roughly 14% intraday after a premarket gain above 20%, while brokers lifted targets, including Bernstein to $1,000 and Bank of America to $850.
