SanDisk (SNDK) has experienced substantial gains since its separation from Western Digital, with a $1,000 initial investment potentially valued at over $45,000. This performance is largely attributed to the burgeoning demand for NAND flash storage, critical for AI data centers supporting model training and inference. The company reported $20 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2026, marking a 175% year-over-year increase. Analysts forecast continued momentum, predicting a 141% surge in revenue for fiscal 2027. SanDisk held an 11% share of the NAND flash market in Q2, with projections suggesting this could translate to $55 billion in revenue by the end of 2027 based on a $500 billion addressable market estimate for 2027. The company expects its non-GAAP gross margin to remain around 80% through fiscal 2030, a notable increase from the 71.6% reported in fiscal 2026.
