Evercore ISI has kept its Outperform rating and $2,500 price target on Sandisk, even after the stock lost about 37% in a month. The target implies roughly 167% upside from Thursday's $937.46 close, both figures before an eight-for-one split. Analyst Amit Daryanani says multiyear supply deals could protect profits if flash memory prices cool. Sandisk has contracted about half of its fiscal 2027 bit volume and 67% of fiscal 2028 volume. The deals include price floors and ceilings, purchase commitments, and nearly $16.5 billion in financial guarantees. In the latest quarter, data center revenue rose 61% from the prior quarter to $4.8 billion. Total revenue reached $11 billion, with an adjusted gross margin of 85.1%. Sandisk projects second-quarter sales of $12.2 billion to $12.6 billion. Split-adjusted trading begins November 20, putting the target at $312.50.
Sandisk shares have climbed about 23% since November 5 to roughly $990, above the $900 price that Motley Fool writer Daniel Sparks set as his limit for buying. His rule: pay no more than four years of earnings at the rate management guided for the current quarter. Sandisk guided adjusted earnings per share of $55 to $57 for its fiscal second quarter. The $56 midpoint annualises to about $224 a share, so the stock now trades at 4.4 times that figure. Sparks says each new outlook has risen by less than the one before: about 43% for the first quarter, then about 24% for the second. The stock is also still about 58% below its June record close of $2,335. An eight-for-one split takes effect on November 20. He would reconsider if the shares fall below $900 ($112 after the split) or if guidance rises.
Jim Cramer says he prefers Micron to SanDisk, arguing the memory chipmaker "is not going away." Speaking on CNBC on November 11, 2026, he said: "I'm not a SanDisk fan. I'm a Micron fan." Micron's fiscal fourth-quarter revenue rose 379.3% to $54.23 billion, with gross margin at 87.0%. The stock trades at about 11x trailing earnings and was at $819.29 on Wednesday, up 12.99%. Unlike SanDisk, which sells only NAND flash and storage, Micron also sells DRAM and high-bandwidth memory. It is co-designing a custom HBM4E product with NVIDIA and has signed 26 strategic customer agreements through 2030. SanDisk has gained 321.49% this year, against 187.28% for Micron. Risks for Micron include cyclical pricing and new supply arriving from 2027.
Micron and Sandisk shares rose about 6% in premarket trading on Wednesday after CoreWeave posted strong third-quarter results. SK Hynix also advanced, as the report eased fears that the AI infrastructure boom is losing steam. The Nvidia-backed cloud provider reported revenue of $3.66 billion, up 168% year over year and ahead of the $3.54 billion Wall Street estimate. Its contracted revenue backlog rose to $132.5 billion. CoreWeave raised its full-year revenue forecast to $13 billion–$13.3 billion and expects capital spending of $37 billion–$39 billion. That matters for memory makers, as AI data centres need large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, DRAM, and enterprise storage. Debt remains a concern. It stands at about $46.9 billion, and quarterly interest expense climbed to $846 million.
Simply Wall St named three stocks that screen as undervalued on cash flow: Cisco Systems, Meta Platforms, and Sandisk. The screen comes as a new Federal Reserve study finds oil price swings now feed more strongly into core inflation, which puts a premium on dependable cash generation. Cisco has a market value of about $388.4 billion. It earns about $63.3 billion from computer networks, with software and subscriptions adding recurring cash flow. Meta's advertising business drives its cash, while its Reality Labs unit lost $19.19 billion in 2025 on $2.21 billion in revenue. A regulatory shift against its ad business is the key risk. Sandisk has a market cap of about $126.1 billion and reports $28.97 billion from storage solutions. It is betting on AI-driven demand for enterprise SSDs. The screen found 93 more companies.
