SanDisk Slumps 9% as Weak NAND Guidance Overshadows Earnings Beat

Key Facts

1SanDisk reported adjusted earnings of $39.25 per share, beating Wall Street estimates of $34.96.
2Company revenue reached $8.97 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $8.48 billion.
3SanDisk stock fell over 5% in extended trading following a 5.4% decline during the regular session.

Reflecting growing concerns over a slowdown in the semiconductor cycle, SanDisk shares extended their decline to 9% in Thursday's premarket trading. The slump followed the company's issuance of disappointing financial guidance for its NAND flash chip business, which effectively overshadowed a strong fourth-quarter performance. According to reports, this cautious outlook weighed heavily on investor sentiment despite adjusted earnings of $39.25 per share and revenue of $8.97 billion both beating consensus estimates.

Per market data, this downward acceleration follows a close of $1350.5 on August 5, 2026, a session that already saw a 5.4% drop. The current price action indicates intensified selling pressure that breached previous intraday support levels, as market participants pivot from celebrating past earnings to pricing in projected weakness in the flash memory market.

Investors are now focused on whether the stock can find a floor near the previous session low of $1345, given the snapshot close of $1350.5 on August 5, 2026. With no major catalysts listed in the upcoming economic calendar for the memory sector, the immediate focus remains on technical support levels and further management commentary regarding NAND inventory levels.
