- Memory chipmaker SanDisk Corp forecast current-quarter and full-year 2015 revenue well below Wall Street expectations, saying it would be unable to meet demand for flash memory storage chips until the mid-year, due to lean inventory levels.

Shares of the company, which supplies memory chips for Apple Inc's iPhones, fell about 8 percent to $74.05 in after market trading.


The company forecast first-quarter revenue of between $1.40 billion and $1.45 billion on a post-earnings conference call on Wednesday. Analysts were expecting revenue of $1.60 billion, according to Thomson I/B/E/S.
