Sandisk upgraded to Buy as Q1 FY2027 beats expectations with strong margins and buybacks.

Sandisk Corporation was upgraded to Buy after its Q1 FY2027 results surpassed expectations, with revenue beating guidance and gross margins reaching 85.1%. The company returned nearly all free cash flow through buybacks, and with two-thirds of FY2028 production contracted and no new fabs planned, it is well positioned for stable supply and capital expenditure dynamics. The premium over competitor Micron has disappeared, and Sandisk's current free cash flow yield stands at 15-16%, providing a cushion against downside risks.

Sandisk shares fell 4.44% to USD 1,076.50 on Pluang, where selling pressure dominates with 72% of orders as of Nov 04, 2026 22:22 WIB. Despite the downgrade in price, the stock remains well capitalized with a market cap of $160.29B and a typical hold time of 17 days among Pluang investors.
