The recovery has become strong reported profit
FY2026 Q4 revenue: $8.965bn · quarter ended July 3
Strong pricing may not last; do not annualize one exceptional quarter.
View analysis and sources
FY2026 Q4 ended July 3: revenue $8.965bn; GAAP gross margin 84.6%; GAAP net income $6.903bn. Datacenter revenue $2.977bn, +103% sequentially.
Evidence supporting the case
Management attributes approximately two-thirds of sequential revenue growth to pricing; test whether contract economics sustain it.
Risks and limitations
FY2027 Q1 revenue $10.30–10.80bn is guidance, not achieved revenue. Do not annualize one exceptional quarter.
The latest quarter shows much higher revenue and profit. The important question now is how long strong pricing can last.
- Investment implications
- Sales growth is reaching profit. Still, a strong business can be expensive if the share price already assumes years of unusually high margins.
- Follow-up indicators
- Contract delivery, product pricing, operating cash flow and capital expenditure.

Kioxia and Sandisk unveiled ninth-generation 2Tb QLC NAND; claimed interface speed is 4.8Gb/s, 33% above the preceding generation.
Speed reflects the issuer’s test conditions, not whole-system throughput. A technology unveiling does not establish customer revenue.

Investor Day: eight customers had signed NBM agreements; management estimates coverage of about 50% of FY2027 bits and two-thirds of FY2028 bits.
FY2028–2030 targets of about 80% non-GAAP gross margin and 50% adjusted free-cash-flow margin are management expectations, not current results or guaranteed returns.
