The one case with a contract under it. Sandisk states a minimum of $93.9bn of contracted NBM revenue computed at floor pricing across eight customers, weighted average duration above four years, and says the economics carry attractive margins even at floor pricing. This case runs the spot market to no premium at all and lets only the contracted book carry the business: revenue converges toward the low twenties of billions a year against a $48.96bn consensus for FY2027 alone. What it does not reach: it says nothing about the roughly half of FY2027 bits and third of FY2028 bits that are not under NBM, and the floor applies to the variable pricing component only, so the realised floor depends on a fixed/variable split Sandisk has not disclosed.

Client SSD, embedded and removable flash into smartphones, PCs, tablets, automotive and robotics - the largest line at 60.6% of basis-quarter revenue. It is the purest price line in the business: FY2026 exabytes grew only high single digits while revenue per gigabyte rose almost 180%. Management says PCs and smartphones are working through a period of adjustment and expects those markets to return to growth in calendar 2027.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Units are an INDEX, not exabytes: the basis quarter is 100 and price per index point is that quarter's revenue divided by 100. Sandisk discloses bit GROWTH by end market and has never published an exabyte LEVEL, so a physical unit count here would be an invented disclosure.
  • The 180% FY2026 increase in revenue per gigabyte is the largest price move of the three lines and the one with the most to give back, which is why its terminal drift is the most negative at -2.5% a quarter.
  • The first projected quarter carries a +14.0% price drift in all three lines because the FQ1 2027 revenue guide of $10.30-10.80bn is a company number and no per-end-market guide exists; splitting it unevenly across the three would be inventing a disclosure Sandisk did not make.
  • Edge and Consumer bits cannot be separated from disclosure: only their combined 62% share of company bits follows from the 38% Datacenter figure.
