Sandisk Surges on AI Data Center Demand and Multi-Year Contracts With $6b Buyback Sandisk reported fiscal Q3 2026 revenue of about US$6b, with a large year-over-year jump and gross margin of 78.4%. It guided Q4 revenue to a range of US$7.75b to US$8.25b tied to strong AI data center demand and multi-year agreements worth roughly US$42b.
The company is focusing on AI-related storage, including High-Bandwidth Flash and PCIe Gen5 SSDs. This strategy is backed by extended joint ventures with Kioxia through 2034, more than US$1.165b committed to 3D flash through 2029, and a consortium with SK Hynix to co-develop next-generation High Bandwidth Flash.
Sandisk has moved to a net cash position, retired US$650m of debt, and launched a US$6b share buyback. Its stock has seen a very large multi-year rally since the 2025 spin-off from Western Digital, helped by tight NAND supply, higher pricing and strong AI-related demand.
Sandisk is tying its business more tightly to AI infrastructure spending through long-term supply contracts and technology partnerships, which may give you more visibility on revenue compared with the typical memory cycle.
The main watchpoints are how long tight NAND supply and high margins last, the impact of any new capacity coming online after 2027, and potential regulatory moves such as AI-focused windfall taxes that could affect profitability across the sector. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • May 09

Kioxia and Sandisk Unveil Next-Generation 3D Flash Memory Technology Achieving 4.8Gb/s NAND Interface Speed Kioxia Corporation and Sandisk Corporation have pioneered a 3D flash memory technology, setting the industry benchmark with a 4.8Gb/s NAND interface speed, superior power efficiency, and heightened density. Unveiled at ISSCC 2025, the new 3D flash memory innovation, together with the companies’ revolutionary CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology,incorporates one of the latest interface standards, Toggle DDR6.0 for NAND flash memory, and leverages the SCA (Separate Command Address) protocol, a novel command address input method of its interface, and PI-LTT (Power Isolated Low-Tapped Termination) technology, which is instrumental in further reducing power consumption. Leveraging this unique high-speed technology, the companies expect the new 3D flash memory to achieve a 33% improvement in NAND interface speed compared with their 8th generation 3D flash memory currently in mass production, reaching a 4.8Gb/s interface speed. The technology can also deliver enhanced power efficiency of data input/output, reducing power consumption by 10% for input and 34% for output, thereby achieving a balance of high performance and low power consumption. Previewing the 10th generation 3D flash memory, the companies detailed that by increasing the number of memory layers to 332 and optimizing the floor plan for increased planar density, the technology improves bit density by 59%. Kioxia and Sandisk also shared plans for the upcoming 9th generation 3D flash memory. Enabled by their unique CBA technology, the companies can combine the new CMOS technology with an existing memory cell technology to deliver capital-efficient, high-performance, low-power products. Both companies remain committed to developing cutting-edge flash memory technologies, offering tailored solutions to meet customer needs, and contributing to the advancement of the digital society.
