About Sandisk Corporation
About Sandisk Corporation
Sandisk sources substantially all of its flash memory wafers from Flash Ventures, its manufacturing joint ventures with Kioxia spanning seven facilities in Japan, while holding a 49.9% ownership stake and rights to half of the ventures' output. The company sells across Cloud, Client, and Consumer end markets, and international sales made up 80% of net revenue in fiscal 2025, down from 86% in fiscal 2024, following its February 21, 2025 separation from Western Digital.
Sandisk sells storage products to computer manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, cloud service providers, resellers, distributors, and retailers worldwide, maintaining sales offices across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. Controllers are primarily designed in-house and manufactured by third-party foundries or sourced from third-party suppliers, while assembly and test operations run through in-house facilities in Penang, Malaysia and a facility owned by SDSS Venture, in which Sandisk holds a 20% stake alongside JCET Management. The company also holds a 48% interest in the Unis Venture, which markets and sells its products in China, an investment transferred from Western Digital in January 2025, and competes against vertically integrated flash suppliers including Micron Technology and Samsung Electronics. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenue in fiscal 2025 or 2024, a shift from 2023, when one customer represented 15% of net revenue.

Beyond its manufacturing partnership, Sandisk faces a distinct and freshly dated trade-policy risk: the 10-K discloses that in August 2025, the Trump administration signaled that tariffs on semiconductors could be imposed soon, subject to exemptions, and that while most of Sandisk's U.S.-sold products are currently exempt, additional tariff increases or the loss of those exemptions would raise the cost of goods sold on U.S. sales specifically. Layered on top of that near-term tariff risk, the filing separately flags government policies in China, the U.S., and Europe designed to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor manufacturing capacity — a policy trend that could reshape where Sandisk's Flash Ventures output is ultimately sold rather than just how it is produced.
