Sandisk’s fiscal first-quarter results showed a sharp year-over-year jump in sales and profit, alongside fast-growing data-center revenue. The company reported $11.031 billion in revenue and $8.101 billion in GAAP net income for the quarter ended October 2, 2026. It also raised its revenue outlook for the next quarter and announced an eight-for-one stock split.

Sandisk’s fiscal Q1 2027 results
Revenue was $11.031 billion, up 378% year over year and 23% sequentially. GAAP net income was $8.101 billion, compared with $112 million a year earlier. GAAP diluted earnings were $52.60 per share; the available source excerpts do not give a comparable year-earlier diluted EPS figure.

On an adjusted, non-GAAP basis, diluted EPS was $49.51. That beat the analyst estimates reported by several outlets, though their estimates differed: figures in the coverage ranged from $46.22 to $47.15 per share.

Data-center growth and AI demand
Data-center revenue was $4.802 billion, up 61% quarter over quarter. Coverage linked the growth to demand from hyperscalers and AI infrastructure customers. The supplied evidence does not establish a precise year-over-year growth rate for this business.

Reports also described rising AI-related storage demand as a tailwind for Sandisk’s NAND business. That supports the broad demand story, but the available excerpts do not quantify how constrained memory supply affected quarterly revenue or pricing.

CEO David Goeckeler described the start of fiscal 2027 as “another strong quarter.” Company commentary also pointed to long-term customer partnerships, though the excerpts do not provide a detailed, quantified forecast for data-center expansion.

Fiscal Q2 outlook
For fiscal Q2, Sandisk forecast $12.2 billion to $12.6 billion in revenue, $55 to $57 in non-GAAP diluted EPS on a pre-split basis, and 84.5% to 85.5% non-GAAP gross margin.

The revenue guidance midpoint is $12.4 billion. Analyst revenue comparisons varied across reports, with cited estimates around $12.23 billion to $12.29 billion; one source cited a higher $12.5 billion estimate. The midpoint is above the lower estimates and close to that higher figure, so comparisons depend on which consensus measure is used.

How shares moved around the report
Coverage described a decline of about 5% to 6% before the results, with reports also differing on the after-hours move. Some accounts said shares rose in extended trading after the earnings and guidance beats; others reported a decline. These accounts may reflect different snapshots of trading, so the available reports do not support one definitive after-hours percentage.

The earnings beat did not prevent a subsequent pullback: Investing.com reported Sandisk shares down 12.75% at 12:47 p.m. EDT on October 30 and characterized the EPS beat as the smallest percentage beat of the previous four quarters. That timing gives context to the post-results reaction but does not establish investors’ reasons for selling.
