Revenue came in at $2.60 billion, down 30.8% year over year, a decline that reflects the February 2025 separation of the Flash unit into standalone Sandisk Corporation rather than any deterioration in underlying demand. The more telling signal was non-GAAP gross margin expanding 610 basis points to 41.3%, with revenue and gross margin both finishing above the high end of guidance. Western Digital also moved aggressively on its balance sheet during the quarter, retiring $2.60 billion in debt and launching a $2.00 billion share repurchase program, actions that helped lift the stock more than 11% following the report. Looking ahead, management guided fiscal Q1 2026 revenue to approximately $2.70 billion, up roughly 22% year over year, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.54, as Cloud demand continues to anchor the company's growth outlook.
Key Takeaways
- • Revenue and gross margin above the high end of guidance
- • Cloud demand as the largest addressable market
- • Gross margin expansion of 610 basis points year over year on non-GAAP basis
- • Strong free cash flow generation of $675 million in Q4
- • AI-driven data infrastructure demand for mass storage
