ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
Analysts are pounding the table on SNDK — massive PT raises across the board: Citi $750, Barclays $750, Goldman $700, Jefferies $700 (all from $320-$600 range). At 8x forward PE, this is by far the cheapest stock in our universe. Down 18% from ATH ($725) creates entry opportunity. AI training datasets need massive NAND storage — every petabyte of training data is a SanDisk tailwind.
⚠️ Key Risk
NAND flash is a commodity with brutal pricing cycles — current boom could peak. Samsung and SK Hynix are larger competitors with more scale. RBC Sector Perform (dropped PT) is the bear case. Just spun off — standalone execution still unproven. Barclays Equal-Weight at $750 means they see upside but with limited conviction.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
NAND flash storage for AI data pipelines and inference. Analysts "pound the table" — AI memory demand thesis strengthening.
No defense or energy exposure.
No quantum relevance.
Some Asia supply chain exposure.
At 8x PE, very rate-insensitive. NAND pricing is cyclical and commodity-driven, not rate-driven. Some international revenue benefits from weaker dollar.
No energy grid relevance.
No significant fiscal exposure.
