Sandisk's earnings growth makes its valuation look unusually low, with guidance showing no slowdown. Revenue rose 378% year over year, and $52.5 GAAP EPS implies a 6.1 annualized P/E, below Micron's. Sandisk's roughly 85% gross margin also compares favorably with SK hynix's apparently sub-50% NAND margin. Next-quarter guidance calls for $12.2 billion-$12.6 billion of revenue and $55-$57 non-GAAP EPS. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Sandisk's fast-growing data-center revenue strengthens its case among memory names with upside. Data-center revenue rose 61% quarter over quarter; revenue of $11.03B, adjusted EPS of $49.51 and adjusted gross margin of 85.1% all exceeded estimates. For upside among Micron, Sandisk and Kioxia, Micron ranks first, then Sandisk, then Kioxia, until further guidance. x.com  x.com 

Sandisk's datacenter shipments and restrained bit-supply plan strengthen its growth case, without settling contract protection in a downturn. Management attributed roughly 60% of fiscal Q1 revenue growth to volume and 40% to price; datacenter sales rose 61% sequentially to $4.8B, supplying 88% of total growth. It retains mid-to-high-teens bit growth rather than accelerating supply. Consumer sales fell 29%, and the CFO cautioned against carrying Q2's growth rate into fiscal Q3. x.com  x.com 

Rising memory contract prices strengthen the case for memory stocks still far below their highs. JPMorgan forecasts Q4 DRAM prices up 13% and NAND up 18%; Micron is 28% below its 52-week high, Seagate 44%, Sandisk 47% and Western Digital 55%. x.com 

SanDisk and Micron are in monster stock mode and probably nowhere near a top. SanDisk shows no volume acceleration yet, and the split of a leveraged SanDisk ETF next week could nudge SanDisk toward its own stock split, helping it accelerate higher. CNBC talking about crashes while these leaders surge is a super bullish sign that the run continues. x.com  x.com  x.com 

At $1.5T of margin debt, a market crack could punish stocks vulnerable to cyclical earnings or high expectations. Micron's profits could fall fast if memory prices weaken; SanDisk's earnings could suffer if NAND pricing turns despite booming AI demand. Palantir's sky-high valuation leaves little room for a growth miss, SpaceX's private-market expectations could suffer if sentiment turns, and Tesla's premium could unwind if autonomy and robotics disappoint. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Sandisk could be the memory supercycle's biggest winner because long-term NAND contracts may make earnings more durable than in past cycles. About $93.9 billion of floor-priced deals cover half of expected FY27 bit shipments and two-thirds in FY28 amid rising AI storage demand. Floors do not guarantee margins; management's roughly 50% adjusted free cash flow margin target for FY28-30 is not reported cash flow. Profitable contracts and sustainable cash generation could support a higher multiple. … Show more

Micron's cheaper forward valuation, stronger revenue growth and higher five-year ROIC make it the better buy than Sandisk, alongside its exposure to AI-driven HBM demand. Per StockAnalysis, Micron's revenue growth is 256% versus 175%, forward P/E is 5.12 versus 5.84, and five-year ROIC is 27.24% versus 21.47%. Sandisk leads on projected EPS growth, at 23.96% versus Micron's 17.16%. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Sandisk is a tulip bubble on steroids, and such extremes end in losses of 97% or more. Its monthly RSI reached 99.5, and at the roughly $2,350 peak the price stood about 90% above its monthly 50-period moving average. The unwind is in line with the uninverting of the 10-year/3-month yield curve, and @StockSavvyShay notes Sandisk is in its biggest drawdown of the past year. x.com 

Sandisk is in an accumulation stage that typically comes before a brutal rally, with smart money buying aggressively now that the psychological cycle is over. Memory is the modern-day gold and the core of data centers, and the higher timeframe is primed for an insane breakout. x.com
