  • SanDisk Q3 Beats Expectations Amid Finite NAND Pricing Cycle
    May 1, 2026, 5:22 AM EDT. SanDisk reported phenomenal Q3 results, beating sales estimates by 20% and earnings by 50%. The company's gains are driven by supply constraints in NAND memory chips amid heightened AI demand, leading to soaring prices and exceptional profitability, with incremental gross margins above 90%. However, analysts caution that this pricing surge is finite, forecasting a supply glut in 2027-2028 from increased manufacturing capacity by SanDisk and competitors like SK Hynix and Samsung. This anticipated supply increase may trigger a sharp price correction, impacting SanDisk's future sales and profits despite ongoing AI demand. Investors should weigh short-term gains against longer-term risks of a down cycle.
