What is Sandisk Corporation (SNDK) worth?

Sandisk (SNDK) — Fair value ~$650 vs. $1,598 price; the stock is pricing a peak as if it were permanent.

Sandisk is a pure-play NAND flash memory maker spun out of Western Digital in February 2025. Memory is one of the most violently cyclical industries in technology, and Sandisk is currently at the top of an AI-driven supercycle: the March 2026 quarter alone generated $5.95B of revenue at a 78% gross margin and $3.6B of net income — after the company lost $1.64B in FY2025 and posted a 7% gross margin as recently as FY2023.

The market is capitalizing these peak profits as durable. On consensus forward EPS of ~$209 the stock looks cheap at ~7.6x, but that is the classic cyclical trap — a low P/E at the earnings peak. Forward EPS of $209 implies ~$31B of net income, more than double the current annualized peak run-rate, and a reverse-DCF shows the price requires ~25% FCF growth for five years even off a generous $8B base.

My normalized mid-cycle work (DCF ~$195, comps ~$175) points to a business worth a fraction of today's price if the cycle behaves as it always has. Giving real weight to a durable AI-storage supercycle (25% probability at ~$1,600), the probability-weighted fair value is ~$650. That leaves the stock trading at a large premium to intrinsic value. This is a low-confidence point estimate by design — the outcome distribution is unusually wide — but the asymmetry favors caution: you are paying peak prices for peak earnings.
