#SanDisk SNDK Earnings Shock: Explosive Performance, Stock Price Drops as a Courtesy# Q4 revenue of 8.97 billion (up 372% YoY), non-GAAP EPS of $39.25, gross margin 84.6%—this quarterly report is a money-printing machine level in any industry. But on August 5, regular session closed down 5.4% at $1350.5, after-hours dropped another 5.87%~8%, once falling below 1272. The reason is simple: next quarter guidance didn’t "exceed expectations." FY2027 Q1 revenue guidance is 10.3-10.8 billion (midpoint 10.55 billion), below the sell-side expectation of 11.16 billion; EPS guidance midpoint of 45 is also slightly weaker. The market had previously priced in all the optimism for AI storage—volatility was 25% from late July to August 5, with a big 10.84% surge on August 4, loosening the chips heavily. Now, a new $14 billion buyback (remaining authorization $15.5 billion) supports the floor, and institutions’ 12-month average price target still stands at $2217 (+64%). #SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck
