I am bullish on SNDK due to its strong position in a supply-constrained NAND market, supporting higher prices and earnings growth. Sandisk benefits from disciplined industry supply, AI-driven enterprise SSD demand, and a PC upgrade cycle, all fueling long-term revenue growth. Valuation is attractive, with potential for 24% upside as SNDK's revenue and margins expand, aligning with industry peers' multiples.
SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) shares moved higher after Bank of America initiated coverage on the developer and manufacturer of data storage devices based on NAND flash technology with a ‘Buy' rating and price objective of $61, representing upside of about 38% at the time of writing. The analysts explained that their ‘Buy' thesis is supported by several key factors, including improving memory pricing as the supply-demand balance shifts positively and room for profit margins to expand due to both the pricing trajectory and operating leverage.
Sandisk Corporation posted a sequential revenue decline and a large GAAP loss due to a goodwill impairment, but beat non-GAAP EPS estimates. Gross margins deteriorated sharply, and oversupply is pressuring prices, but management expects gradual margin and profitability recovery next quarter. SanDisk's long-term outlook is tied to SSD adoption; the company must weather current downturns and maintain profitability until SSDs gain enterprise traction.
