🚨 $SNDK — THE MARKET FINALLY EXHALED SanDisk’s latest results were impressive: $8.97B quarterly revenue, +51% sequentially, 84.6% gross margin, and a data-center business that doubled. Yet the stock initially sold off. Why? Because the market wasn’t just asking “How much did SanDisk make?” It was asking: “Can these profits last?” That’s what made today’s Investor Day more interesting. SanDisk has signed long-term agreements with 8 customers, covering roughly 50% of expected FY2027 shipments and two-thirds of FY2028 shipments. Management is also targeting roughly 80% non-GAAP gross margin and 50% adjusted free-cash-flow margin for FY2028–2030, with remaining cash potentially returned to shareholders after required investments. The bigger story is the potential shift from a purely cyclical NAND company toward an AI-driven storage infrastructure play. 🤖💾 Of course, targets are still targets. HBF execution, long-term contracts, NAND pricing, and future margins all need to be validated quarter after quarter. But the narrative is becoming clearer: Compute makes AI think. Storage makes AI remember. For years, the market focused heavily on AI compute. Now, AI data growth is putting storage infrastructure firmly in the spotlight. $SNDK #SNDK #AI #NAND #Semiconductors #AIInfrastructure #Storage #Stocks
