Event Summary

Western Digital — Sandisk is set to report its fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 earnings on August 5. The company, spun off from Western Digital in February 2025, has seen its stock surge over 3,800% since the spinoff, driven by strong demand for NAND flash memory used in AI data centers. Revenue in the previous quarter grew 251% year-over-year to nearly $6 billion, and management guided for about $8 billion in Q4 revenue with an 80% gross margin. However, the stock has declined 15-36% from its June 2026 highs amid profit-taking and market volatility. Analysts expect another beat-and-raise quarter, supported by strong results from peer Micron Technology and increased capex from Alphabet. The high valuation (P/E ~60) and cyclical nature of memory chips pose risks.
