- Fiscal fourth-quarter revenue reached USD 8.97 billion, up 372.00 percent year over year.
- Sandisk stock was EUR 1,455.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026, plus 1.39 percent versus the prior close.

Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh raised his Sandisk price target to USD 2,050.00 from USD 1,875.00 and reiterated a Buy rating in a note dated October 5, 2026, as TheStreet reported. The target revision puts the analyst view against Sandisk's latest operating surge and the risks of a cyclical NAND market.
Three milestones shape the story
On July 2, 2026, Sandisk announced BiCS10 1Tb TLC 3D NAND sampling with an interface speed of up to 4.80 Gb per second, according to its investor-relations release page. On August 5, 2026, the company reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of USD 8.97 billion, up 372.00 percent year over year, in the same release archive.
The October 5, 2026 Mizuho target is the latest of the three milestones. Rakesh connected the bullish view to solid inference and key-value-cache demand, while TheStreet reported that he expects AI workloads to represent 22.00 percent of NAND demand by 2030.
What does the target raise mean?
The operating figures explain why the target changed. Sandisk reported fiscal fourth-quarter GAAP gross margin of 84.60 percent and GAAP diluted earnings per share of USD 43.97, while fiscal 2026 revenue reached USD 20.25 billion, up 175.00 percent from fiscal 2025, according to TheStreet.
The counterweight is cyclicality. The same report notes that NAND shortages can invite new capacity, while Sandisk's own long-term model assumes mid-to-high-teens revenue growth from fiscal 2028 through fiscal 2030, making pricing durability more important than one quarter's margin.
Results date sets the next marker
Sandisk's next scheduled reporting event is its fiscal first-quarter 2027 earnings call on October 29, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. EDT, according to the company's investor-relations calendar. The call will test whether the fiscal fourth-quarter revenue base of USD 8.97 billion can support the next phase of the memory upcycle.
