Sandisk's new multi-year contract model should change how the market values it and bring multiple expansion. The earnings call introduced flexible 1-, 3- and 5-year contracts that customers must keep paying for even if they no longer need the products; the contract is locked in, the price is not. That is no different from a SaaS subscription, yet SaaS firms with much lower growth and margins get far higher P/E multiples while Sandisk is capped as a cyclical. The results were mostly priced in. x.com x.com
