Elevator Pitch
- Sandisk benefits from a severe NAND shortage and AI-driven demand, which is pushing NAND prices higher and supporting strong revenue and margin growth.

- Sandisk trades at a notable 1-year forward EV/EBITDA premium to memory peers, but broad earnings upgrades suggest the market is rightly rewarding its superior growth outlook.
- Sandisk shares are in a strong uptrend with shallow pullbacks, recently breaking out from a tight consolidation range with no clear signs of selling pressure.
