Surging over 17%! Trillion-yuan giant SanDisk hit by major bullish catalyst

SanDisk has released a major bullish signal.

　　Overnight and this morning, all three major U.S. stock indexes strengthened, while storage giant SanDisk surged over 17% intraday, driving a broad rally among U.S.-listed storage stocks. On the news front, SanDisk said at its Investor Day event that it expects revenue to maintain mid-to-high double-digit growth from fiscal 2028 through fiscal 2030. SanDisk also pledged to return 100% of its remaining cash to shareholders after completing business investments.

　　A key rationale supporting SanDisk’s expected high revenue growth over the next three years is the new demand for storage infrastructure arising as AI expands from training to inference. SanDisk said AI inference workloads are driving rapid growth in token usage. As the scale of AI inference expands, AI data centers will become increasingly dependent on storage. By 2030, the total addressable market (TAM) for flash storage in enterprise data centers is expected to reach 1.2 zettabytes (ZB).

　　SanDisk surges

　　On August 13 U.S. Eastern Time, SanDisk, the storage giant, surged sharply during U.S. trading, at one point jumping over 17%. By the close, it had risen 13.67%, lifting its total market capitalization to $227.69B (approximately RMB 1.5 trillion). In after-hours trading, SanDisk shares continued to rise and are currently up over 2%.

　　On the news front, SanDisk unveiled its long-term financial model at its 2026 Investor Day, setting a series of financial targets for fiscal 2028 through fiscal 2030. SanDisk also pledged to return 100% of its remaining cash to shareholders after completing business investments.

　　SanDisk expects revenue to maintain mid-to-high double-digit growth from fiscal 2028 through fiscal 2030, with the growth rate matching bit shipment growth. Meanwhile, on a non-GAAP basis, gross margin is expected to remain at approximately 80%, while operating margin is expected to be approximately 75%.

　　It is understood that SanDisk entered fiscal 2027 in early July 2026. Therefore, the fiscal 2028 through fiscal 2030 period announced this time refers to the next three consecutive fiscal years beginning around July 2027.

　　Under this financial model, SanDisk expects operating expenses to account for approximately 5% of revenue, while other income and expenses will not have a significant impact. Even after factoring in taxes, capital expenditures, and the working capital required to support business growth, the company expects its adjusted free cash flow margin to reach approximately 50%.

　　SanDisk also released another major signal: The company does not plan to simply target growth by expanding shipment volumes, but will proactively adjust the bits available for sale based on profitability.

　　SanDisk expects demand for storage from AI data centers to rise substantially. By 2030, the total addressable market for flash storage in enterprise data centers is expected to reach 1.2 zettabytes (ZB).

　　SanDisk Chief Financial Officer Luis Visoso said, “With the release of our new financial model for fiscal 2028 through fiscal 2030, we believe the company is in a unique position for growth.”

　　SanDisk disclosed that it has signed new business model (NBM) agreements with eight customers. These agreements include committed purchase volumes, binding contractual frameworks, minimum financial guarantees, and structured pricing mechanisms, which can strengthen the alignment between customer demand and the company’s capacity planning and reduce the impact of cyclical fluctuations in the traditional storage industry.

　　The NBM agreements signed so far cover approximately 50% of fiscal 2027 bit shipments and approximately two-thirds of fiscal 2028 bit shipments.

　　All three major U.S. stock indexes close higher

　　Driven by SanDisk’s surge, other U.S.-listed storage stocks also rallied broadly. At the close, SK Hynix ADR and Western Digital jumped over 7%, while Micron Technology and Seagate Technology rose over 4%.

　　In the broader U.S. stock market, all three major indexes closed higher. The S&P 500 rose 0.65%, hitting a new record closing high; the Nasdaq rose 0.81%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.13%.

　　Most large technology stocks strengthened. Tesla jumped over 3%, Meta rose over 2%, Apple gained 1%, Microsoft rose nearly 1%, and Nvidia, Google, and Broadcom closed slightly higher. SpaceX fell over 3%, while Amazon declined 0.8%.

　　Most U.S. chip stocks rose. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index gained 0.46%, with 18 of its 30 component stocks advancing. Intel and Lam Research rose over 3%, while Arm gained over 2%.

　　Optical communications stocks diverged. Coherent plunged nearly 8%, Applied Optoelectronics and Corning fell over 5%, while Marvell Technology rose over 2%.

　　U.S.-listed AI application software stocks rallied broadly. Workday jumped nearly 18%, Cloudflare rose over 6%, and Palantir, Adobe, and Salesforce gained over 4%.

　　On the news front, the Producer Price Index (PPI) month-over-month rate released Thursday was flat in July, while the year-over-year increase fell from 5.5% in June to 4.7%, exceeding market expectations on the downside.

　　The report further dampened market expectations for the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy. The CME FedWatch Tool showed a 65.7% probability that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged, compared with around 60% the previous day.

　　Cooling inflation data drove Treasury yields broadly lower, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling approximately 5 basis points to 4.65%.

　　Glen Smith of GDS Wealth Management said the data showed that although inflation remains well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, oil price-driven inflationary pressures have begun to stabilize since the outbreak of the Middle East war.
