According to the company, it is scheduled to release the financial and operating highlights after market close on Thursday, April 30. A conference call will be held to discuss the results.

For the said period, Sandisk Corp. (NASDAQ:SNDK) is expected to report $4.4 billion to $4.8 billion in revenues, or an implied growth of 159 percent to 182 percent from the $1.7 billion reported in the same quarter a year earlier.
