Sandisk Corp SNDK

The bottom line

Sandisk sells flash memory, so its business tracks NAND pricing and data-center demand. Last quarter showed $11.03B revenue (+377.9% YoY), $8.1B net income, $6.31B free cash flow, and EPS of 48.92 versus 46.19 expected. A P/E of 9.2 against a sector median of 39 embeds an assumption that today's earnings are not durable. The central tension: results beat, yet the stock fell 7% on the week, sits 51% below its high and moves violently day to day (ATR 6.74%) — the market is pricing cyclicality, not continuity.
