Overview
- Sandisk shares pushed to fresh records Monday, with Benzinga citing a move to about $1,036 after earlier gains near $990 in morning trade.
- The company’s latest quarter showed $3.03 billion in revenue, up 61% year over year, with diluted EPS of $6.20 that topped Wall Street estimates.
- Heavy AI workloads are straining memory supply, so customers are leaning on solid‑state drives for fast secondary storage, which lifts prices and margins for Sandisk.
- Analysts raised targets into late April, including Wells Fargo to $975 with Equal Weight and Bank of America to $1,080 with Buy, while UBS and Cantor Fitzgerald set $1,000 objectives.
- The stock trades near 20.5 times forward earnings, short interest has climbed to about 6.6% of the float, and a director sold roughly $2.2 million of shares in February, underscoring cyclical and valuation risk.
