SanDisk's revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was US $3.025 billion, a year-on-year increase of 61%, and its net profit was US $803 million, a year-on-year increase of 673%. The revenue of the AI data center business increased by 64% month-on-month, driving the performance to significantly exceed expectations, and the stock price once rose by nearly 15% after the market closed.
