SNDK earns a BUY rating with a $2,117 price target, backed by $93.9 billion in signed multi-year datacenter contracts that lock in future revenue.
SanDisk's 372% revenue growth and 84.6% gross margin vastly outpace WDC's 44% growth, justifying a premium valuation over both WDC and MU.

Our SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) price prediction has one message: the AI storage story that turned this stock into a 3,120% one-year gainer still has room to run.
The 24/7 Wall St. price target is $2,117.43 over the next 12 months, implying 41.81% upside from $1,493.12. Our recommendation is buy with 90% confidence. The reason to be bullish: multi-year contracts have turned a cyclical NAND supplier into a company with locked-in revenue visibility.
SanDisk gave back 16.44% over the past week and 6.45% on the most recent trading day, cooling from a Reddit post flagging "rapidly increasing volatility among memory stocks" as a possible bubble signal. Year to date, shares are up 529%.
Fiscal Q4 2026, reported August 5, delivered non-GAAP EPS of $39.25 against $33.28 consensus (the fifth straight beat) on revenue of $8.96 billion (up 371.59% year over year). GAAP gross margin hit 84.6%. Q1 FY2027 guidance calls for revenue of $10.30 billion to $10.80 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $44 to $46.
The bull case rests on signed contracts. Management said New Business Model deals now cover eight datacenter and edge customers with a weighted-average duration of over four years and minimum expected revenue of $93.9 billion. NBMs will cover more than 50% of FY2027 bits and roughly two-thirds of FY2028 bits. Datacenter revenue grew 437% in FY2026.

Management projects the NAND market approaches $500 billion in calendar 2027. Analysts have chased shares to a $2,126.17 consensus target, and our bull-case scenario points to $2,487.13, roughly 66.57% above current levels. The $14 billion additional buyback authorization adds fuel.
NAND remains cyclical. The non-NBM portion floats with market pricing, and Q4 revenue growth was two-thirds pricing driven, meaning spot NAND softening compresses margins fast. Consumer revenue fell to $556 million, down 32% quarter over quarter, and Reddit sentiment turned bearish at a weekly score of 23.5. Kioxia dependency and customer concentration also matter.
Bulls counter that lower sequential margins reflect deliberate product mix and prudent guidance while fundamentals remain intact, and NBMs smooth exactly this volatility. Our bear-case scenario lands at $1,494.82, essentially flat.
Micron (NASDAQ:MU) is the direct memory competitor. Its fiscal Q3 2026 revenue was $41.46 billion at 84.6% GAAP gross margin, matching SanDisk's profile but on far larger scale ($1.03 trillion market cap). Micron's Strategic Customer Agreements validate the multi-year-contract playbook, making our SanDisk target well-grounded.
Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) is SanDisk's former parent and the HDD counterpart to the same AI storage buildout. WDC posted Q4 FY26 revenue of $3.75 billion (up 43.84%) at 54.4% non-GAAP gross margin. SanDisk's 84.6% gross margin and 371.59% revenue growth exceed WDC, justifying our target premium.
The 24/7 Wall St. price target of $2,117.43 is a buy at 90% confidence. The $93.9 billion NBM revenue floor tips the scale.
