Sandisk has become a major player in the booming NAND flash memory market, seeing its stock surge over 1,290% in the past year due to unprecedented demand from AI infrastructure development. Analysts forecast adjusted earnings could climb markedly, guiding for revenues between $4.4 billion and $4.8 billion in the upcoming quarter. However, concerns are mounting over the sustainability of this growth, with warnings that Sandisk's valuation may suffer a sharp decline as the memory chip cycle peaks and supply stabilizes.

“Demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure has led to an unprecedented supply shortage in NAND flash memory, such that prices have tripled in the past year. Sandisk has benefited greatly.”
“Sandisk trades at 75 times adjusted earnings today, a reasonable price for a company whose adjusted earnings are forecast to grow at 155% annually through the fiscal year ending in June 2028.”
“However, Sandisk's valuation is likely to collapse once it becomes clear the memory chip cycle has passed its peak, at which point shares could fall sharply.”
