Technological SanDisk Corp introduced 1Q15 results, with EPS adjusted below expectations (USD 0.62 vs. USD 0.66) and revenues above the consensus (USD 1330 mn vs. USD 1.30000 mn).

The CEO proved to be “disappointed” with the results and said the company is taking steps to resume execution excellence demonstrated in the past.

The guidance for 2015 has been revised downwards and missed the market consensus – revenue of USD 5400 mn – USD 5700 mn vs. USD 6150 mn expected.

The sales target for USD 1000 mn companies was discarded, although the company renewed commitment of capital return to shareholders, with additional buy-backs of USD 750 mn this year.
