2026-03-17- **Storage stocks have melted up massively in 2025-2026.** SNDK: $40s → $700+ (~14x). WDC (parent before SNDK spinoff): $40s → $200s (5-6x). STX: $90s → $400 (4-5x). All driven by AI-era memory/storage demand explosion.
- **SNDK Q4 2025 (calendar) earnings exploded:** revenue +62% YoY, gross profit +400%+, operating income +400%+, **net income +600%+**. The cost-line breakthrough (margins crossed past fixed cost = profit detonation). Gross margin: 30%→50%. Net margin: -110% → +26% net margin in 5 quarters.
- **Forward guidance Q1:** revenue $4.4-4.8B, **gross margin 65-67%** (up another 15+ percentage points). EPS could hit **$12-14** (vs ~$3-4 currently). At that earnings rate, forward PE compresses fast.
