Stock Track | SanDisk Plunges 5.15% After Hours Despite Blowout Earnings as Elevated Expectations Trigger Sell-Off

Stock Track

6 hours ago

SanDisk Corp. experienced a 5.15% decline in after-hours trading on Thursday, following the release of its fiscal third-quarter 2026 financial results. The flash-storage company reported earnings and revenue that significantly exceeded Wall Street estimates.

The post-market drop occurred despite SanDisk posting adjusted earnings per share of $23.41, beating the consensus estimate of $14.43 by 62.23%. Revenue for the quarter reached $5.95 billion, surpassing expectations of $4.68 billion and representing a 251% year-over-year increase. The company also issued strong fourth-quarter guidance, projecting adjusted EPS of $30 to $33 versus the $22.01 analyst estimate.

Analysts attribute the stock's decline to exceptionally elevated market expectations heading into the earnings report. SanDisk's stock had surged over 300% year-to-date and approximately 3,300% over the past year, driven by the AI-fueled storage super-cycle narrative. The "sell the news" reaction suggests that even these blowout results may have been priced into the stock after its massive rally, with investors taking profits following the earnings release.
