Results for the quarter ended 2026-07-03 bring the business drivers and cash after investment into focus.

Operating margin was 78.49%.
How Revenue Reached Operating Profit
Both quarterly revenue and operating profit are unavailable for calculating an operating margin.
In the reported fiscal quarter, that remainder expanded while operating expenses grew more modestly.
What the Reported Earnings Include
Quarterly net income is not separately available.
Diluted earnings per share also increased from the preceding fiscal quarter. The diluted share count rose despite annual share repurchases, illustrating why buyback spending alone does not establish an improvement in per-share results.
The statements do not explain the latest gain’s composition, so it should not be treated as recurring storage earnings.
Cash Left After Investment
Quarterly cash generation and cash investment figures are not both available for Q4 2026. Each available cash metric should be read over its stated period.
Investing outflows increased, with most recorded under other investing activities rather than purchases of property and equipment. Separately, the annual filing identifies purchases of marketable equity securities, activity related to Flash Ventures and capital expenditures as uses of investing cash. Direct equipment spending alone therefore does not describe all cash committed to investments.
What to Watch Next
Watch whether Datacenter sales continue to develop alongside successful enterprise product qualifications. The important distinction is between commercial progress in storage products and gains that depend primarily on selling prices.
Also watch operating cash after changes in customer balances, inventory and liabilities. Investment commitments and completed repurchases will show how Sandisk balances its stronger financial position with the demands of an integrated flash business.
