SANDISK US80004C2008

SanDisk has delivered a remarkable financial performance for its second quarter of 2026, surpassing Wall Street’s projections by a wide margin. The company, now operating independently following its separation from Western Digital, is reaping significant rewards from its focused strategy on flash memory, fueled by relentless artificial intelligence demand and substantial data center spending.

The quarterly report, released Thursday evening, highlights a period of extraordinary growth. SanDisk’s profit massively multiplied year-over-year, driven by what industry observers are calling a storage super-cycle and the rapid adoption of high-capacity NAND flash products.
