Sandisk's Q1 guidance and datacenter momentum set near-term upside for SNDK

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Earnings preview with high-revenue guidance, a 233% datacenter lift in Q3, and a substantial buyback program creates upside risk into the print. Positive contract visibility ($93.9B across 10 deals) and long-dated commitments support confidence in sustained growth, typical near-term upside ahead of results; past post-earnings volatility around guidance also creates a potential pullback risk, but fundamentals point to upside if guidance is aligned with or above expectations.
