Sandisk Profit Surges on AI-Driven Memory Demand
The insatiable appetite for AI infrastructure has transformed Sandisk’s balance sheet, sending net income to $8.1 billion in the first fiscal quarter. This massive leap from the previous year’s $112 million reflects a market where memory suppliers now command significant pricing leverage over hyperscale data storage providers.
Looking ahead, the company expects the momentum to hold. Guidance for the second quarter targets revenue between $12.2 billion and $12.6 billion, with adjusted earnings per share projected to reach as high as $57. These forecasts exceed current analyst estimates, signaling that the current supply-demand imbalance in the memory sector shows few signs of softening in the near term.
