By · report dated 2026-08-11 · fair value derived independently of the market price.
The thesis, in brief
Sandisk's FY26 was the most profitable year in NAND history, but at $1,238 the market capitalises $24bn of perpetual free cash flow, 2.6x that record year, so the price already pays for management's guidance extended forever in a franchise that has never earned its cost of capital through a cycle
How we value it
We value SanDisk using Proprietary 5-year DCF, heavier reinvestment ramp than guided; 16.3% WACC. The 12-month fair value is set from that intrinsic estimate first, then compared to the market to read the upside or downside — never anchored to the current price.
