SanDisk’s (NASDAQ:SNDK) stock has taken a hit over the past month, falling more than 10% from $45 to $40 levels currently. This downward movement has widened the gap between the market price and our $50 price estimate, undermining our valuation by approximately 25%.
In our opinion, the decline in the market price is unwarranted since SanDisk is well-positioned to supply the smartphone and solid state drive (SSD) markets, both of which are expected to grow rapidly over our forecast period. Additionally, the stabilization in NAND prices, whose fall caused a year-over-year revenue decline for SanDisk during the last few quarters, will help the company grow its top-line going forward.

Q3 Encouraging
While SanDisk has struggled to post year-over-year growth during this calendar year, we think it is still in a strong position to deliver revenue growth in the coming years. What we found encouraging during the company’s recent quarterly results was that it posted a 23% increase in revenue on a sequential basis, creating a strong foundation for an increase going forward.
Smartphone Market to Grow Rapidly
Overall, we think that growth in the number of smartphones sold will be key for SanDisk. Gartner estimates that smartphone shipments grew at a rapid 46% year-over-year during the third quarter, maintaining a long run of rapid growth which is likely to continue over the next few years.
What is especially encouraging is that SanDisk was able to increase its market share during the year despite operating in the highly competitive mobile flash storage industry. We think a strong brand name will help the company maintain and increase its market share in the next few years, setting it up to get a bigger share of the growing smartphone flash storage market.
It is, however, worth noting that smartphone sales depend on a stable macroeconomic environment. Many emerging economies don’t have a two-year upgrade cycles as in the US, and if these economies slow, we could see a decline in overall smartphone sales.
Flash Prices Stabilizing
One of the key reasons that SanDisk is struggling to maintain year-over-year revenue growth is oversupply of NAND flash memory, which has heavily impacted the firm’s top-line. However, these trends seem to be changing as recent data from SanDisk and overall industry supply cuts indicate that NAND prices are stabilizing.
For example, SanDisk reported a sequential flash price decline of only 8% in Q3 compared to almost 20% in Q2. We think that these trends could continue and create upside to the Trefis price estimate. We currently expect the average selling price (ASP) per gigabyte (GB) of flash memory will fall rapidly to $0.01 by the end of our forecast period (from $0.50 now), but if flash memory prices fall only to $0.03 by 2019, we would see upside of 10% to the Trefis price estimate. You can use our tool below to assess the impact of a change in ASP per GB of flash storage on SanDisk’s value.
Another key point is that SanDisk’s NAND price declines were relatively muted compared with competitor Micron (NASDAQ:MU). This is encouraging since it indicates that the company’s management has done a good job in minimizing the effect of NAND price declines. The high quality management is likely to give SanDisk a competitive edge as it fights to maintain its large presence in the flash industry.
SSDs to Drive Growth
While the average selling price per gigabyte for SSD is much higher than that for a traditional hard drive, the drives are cheaper to run, use less power, are more reliable and compact. SSDs have another advantage in that they can process information faster and manage more operations per second compared to legacy drives. In our opinion, these factors will result in a higher demand for SSDs (especially since ASPs fall over the long term) as more enterprises shift to flash storage with cloud-based applications becoming more data-intensive.
We currently have a $50 price estimate for SanDisk, which is approximately 25% above the current market price.

SanDisk: Undervalued Despite High Earnings Expectations
March 7, 2012
Last fall, several high cap tech stocks were very undervalued, with forward P/E ratios less than ten and strong, credible growth expectations ahead of them. SanDisk Corporation (SNDK) appeared to be one of those recovering value stocks, but has recently faced some flat activity. In the past six months as of the close of March 6th trading, share price increased by a whopping 36.49 percent, but in the past month, shares are down 3.6 percent after bad earnings while the Nasdaq is up 9.83 percent.
In this article, I analyze if SanDisk shares will rebound in the near future like Microsoft (MSFT) shares or taper off into a downward trend like Hewlett Packard (HPQ) shares. SanDisk produces a wide range of memory storage devices. The company is an industry leader and from my analysis, has two very important strengths that should lead it to sustained success: its distribution channels and its low cost leadership.
There are three very notable attributes about SanDisk's distribution channels. First, it has a strong global reach with 57 percent of its sales being international and has at least a 28 percent market share in all parts of the world including a 34 percent market share in the United States and a 32 percent market share in Europe. Second, the company has a lot of relationships with consumer hardware companies including Apple (AAPL), Samsung, HP, Dell (DELL), Nokia (NOK), Motorola, and HTC.
When these companies' products are bought, they come equipped with a SanDisk storage device, so consumers become familiar with the SanDisk brand and are more likely to use the SanDisk memory devices. Third, the company's products have a very strong retail presence. SanDisk reports that its products are available at over 250,000 stores worldwide and are available at 19 of the top 20 consumer electronics retailers in the United States.
SanDisk's strong distribution channels and leadership in market share allow it to achieve its second major stregnth, low cost leadership. Memory storage devices are slowly becomming more of a commodity in that many companies produce a similar product. SanDisk, however, is able to use its high cash flow and position at the front of the market to fund research to cut costs and stay ahead of its competitors. This way, it can outprice them, maintain and expand on its market share, and increase revenues and profits.
SanDisk stock looks undervalued based on what analysts expect the company to do in the coming years. In 2012, it is expected to report earnings per share of $4.69 and in 2013, it is expected to have an EPS of $5.47. SanDisk is expected to grow by 16.44 percent per year over the next five years while the S&P 500 is only expected to grow by 10.68 percent per year. However, SanDisk currently trades at a P/E ratio far below the S&P average of 14.5.
The stock is undervalued because of potential concerns in the industry. The amount of new memory storage space needed every year is decreasing. This has stemmed from computer hardware technology beginning to mature as opposed to its exponential rate of growth over the past 30 years. In addition, the cost of a gigabyte of storage gets exponentially cheaper over time. A flattening demand for storage space means an exponentially decreasing stream of revenue.
However, there is hope for SanDisk going forward. With mobile internet technology still developing, and new ways of using mobile internet continuing to emerge, there is still plenty of growth potential for the amount of data that is transmitted and SanDisk expects to grow mostly through its storage devices that will enable mobile computing. The company's 2015 revenue projection predicts no growth in revenue from consumers, but does expect 19.8 percent annual revenue growth in mobile memory storage and SSD storage sales.
I believe that despite its earnings estimates posing high expectations, SanDisk is currently an undervalued stock. I believe that it is a good stock for anyone's portfolio and I personally value shares around $58, while it is currently trading at $48.50. Although the company sells a product that many seem to be "just" a commodity, its strong distribution channels and low cost leadership will most likely make SanDisk a market leader for years to come.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, SanDisk and Western Digital® to Advance Digital Ownership of High Definition Movies
"Project Phenix" (working title) will Enable Consumers to Buy, Store and Playback HD Versions of Movies and TV Shows at Home or On-the-Go, Easily and Seamlessly
BURBANK and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, SanDisk (Nasdaq: SNDK), and Western Digital (NYSE: WDC) today revealed "Project Phenix" (working title), an initiative that will give consumers an easier and faster way to organize, store and move their high definition digital movies and TV shows – including new releases in up to full 1080p quality - across multiple devices. In addition to local storage, the content will also be backed up via the UltraViolet industry standard as well as other cloud-based services.
The project is being developed by the newly formed Secure Content Storage Association (SCSA). Established as an LLC, this coalition will create and license solutions that secure high definition and other premium copyright-protected content on local and portable hard drives, and flash memory products such as USB flash drives, SD™ cards and solid state disk drives (SSDs). Once content is downloaded to a hard drive or flash memory product, it could then be accessed, online or offline, on any SCSA-enabled device such as a connected TV, laptop, Blu-ray™ player, tablet, mobile phone or game console. The optimized content will be made easily available for purchase via digital download, digital files bundled with physical media, kiosks in retail stores, or other means of secure digital delivery.
"Developing solutions that will allow consumers to easily access and store true HD digital content is a critical component supporting digital media and entertainment consumption," said Darcy Antonellis, President, Warner Bros. Technical Operations. "Through the SCSA, we will accelerate the development of products that will make it easy for the consumer to download, store and playback their high definition digital movies and TV shows, in full 1080p, on any SCSA-optimized device at home and on the go."
"The vision for this new product is to store, play and back up in the cloud personal and professional content," said Mike Dunn, President, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "The device renders content up to 10 times faster than over-the-top internet. We see Project Phenix as a key component of the emerging digital ecosystem."
The SCSA's solutions will be designed to work with the industry-backed UltraViolet (UV) ecosystem and aimed to complement other next-generation high definition content protection technologies already in the market such as Intel® Insider™. The SCSA expects to make its solutions widely available for license this year.
"The SCSA will provide consumers with a digital solution for movies and TV shows that is as simple to use as DVD and Blu-ray discs," said Bert Hesselink, CTO of Western Digital Branded Products. "The SCSA solution will allow the consumer to store high definition purchased content, including copies of certain DVD content, in a secure, consumer-owned digital home library on a hard drive, along with their personal photos, music, and videos. Digital library content can be easily viewed inside the home on a TV, PC or tablet, or when owners are on the move with a portable library copy, providing mobile viewing even when a reliable Internet connection is not available, such as a plane, car, train or remote location."
"Consumers around the world will finally be able to enjoy locally stored premium Hollywood content in up to 1080p quality anywhere they desire on a broad range of electronic devices," said Sumit Sadana, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at SanDisk. "With the involvement of major Hollywood studios and leaders in the HDD and Flash memory industries, the SCSA alliance's openly licensable security standard holds the promise of fostering new device capabilities, new business models and ultimately improved value for consumers.

Diskeeper and SanDisk Team to Accelerate Adoption of Solid State Drive Computing Applications
Ultrabooks First to Benefit from High Performance Combination of Diskeeper Caching Software and SanDisk Flash Memory
BURBANK, Calif., Feb 21, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Diskeeper Corporation, the leader in high-performance optimization and maintenance software for technology, people and businesses, and SanDisk Corporation SNDK -0.23% , a global leader in flash memory storage solutions, have announced they have entered into an agreement to provide hardware and software to enhance the performance and accelerate the adoption of client solid-state disk drive (SSD) computing applications. The agreement initially calls for SanDisk to license Diskeeper's ExpressCache(TM) and NowOn(TM) software products enabling a highly competitive, fully validated, high performance storage solution for use in Ultrabooks(TM) and other computing platforms.
Diskeeper's ExpressCache and NowOn high performance optimization software combined with SanDisk's client SSDs extend both companies' strategy of helping consumer OEM customers build affordable computing devices that provide greater responsiveness, faster performance and an overall better user experience. The agreement also allows SanDisk to potentially license other Diskeeper(R) products still in various stages of development. Other details of the agreement are not disclosed.
"Two years ago when designing this software we envisioned the potential for creating high performance enabling, hybrid technology platforms. Platforms that offer the best of two worlds: highly affordable large disk drives to meet storage memory needs, and small high performance SSD's to power high performance," said Paul Raphael, EVP of Technology for Diskeeper. "The ExpressCache solution greatly improves boot and application launch speeds while also providing system optimization to enhance the user experience. We believe SanDisk's ability to enhance the mobile computing experience by providing industry leading software along with flash memory will be one of the key factors helping to accelerate the growth of the Ultrabook market segment this year."
Caching solutions used in computing provide a location for frequently accessed information to be stored and retrieved quickly. Semiconductor-based solid state storage with its small footprint and high performance is often used in computing to enhance the performance of systems relying on slower hard disk drive (HDD) technology. Combining flash memory-based cache with advanced caching software, can help deliver higher performing HDD-based computing systems while keeping overall system costs low.
ExpressCache has been adopted by leading OEMs to provide enhanced boot speed, faster launch of applications and quicker access to frequently used files used in consumer computing applications. SanDisk will now be able to offer the software in combination with its industry leading SSD products as a caching solution in dual drive configurations.
NowOn allows an "instant on" solution for the client PC market -- a key requirement for Ultrabooks. This faster "resume from hibernation" feature makes PCs more like other mobile devices in terms of boot up and response times.

Top Value Plays for 2012
Posted: Thursday, February 16, 2012 9:32 AM EDT
By: Michael Fowlkes
Quote:
__________________________________________________________
Value Stock #3: SanDisk (SNDK)
SanDisk (SNDK) recently posted better than expected Q4 earnings, but the stock got killed after the company forecast first-quarter revenues below analyst estimates. The market was quick to react, and the stock fell 10%. It is possible that this sell-off was a bit extreme, and could be viewed as a good opportunity to jump into the stock at a discount. Revenue growth has been strong over the past eight quarters, and the company has delivered operating margins above 25% over the past 10 quarters. The industry is definitely moving in SanDisk’s favor, which is another reason we believe the current price marks a good value play on the stock. Technology continues to improve, and with the rapid growth of 3G and 4G devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, people are able to download more data, quicker. This leads to a need for additional storage, and will only help SanDisk. Yes, the recession has led to lower demand from some of SanDisk’s clients, but as the economy continues to recover that business will return. Sales growth is expected to be around 17% both this year and next. The company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter numbers at the end of January, announcing earnings of $1.29, versus analyst estimates for $1.26. With the most recent earnings beat, the company has now outpaced analyst estimates for each of the last 12 quarters. The stock is currently trading with a P/E ratio of 11.5, and has a Price/Book ratio of 1.67. SanDisk does not pay a dividend.

SanDisk Setting Up For Positive Surprises
February 15, 2012
We believe SanDisk (SNDK) offers a compelling risk/reward profile, with several upcoming catalysts following the company's recent earnings disappointment.
When SanDisk reported its 4Q results on January 25th, the outlook was poorly received, with shares trading off 11.4%. Since then, it was reported SanDisk was cutting prices by 15% - in our view, a non-story, since SanDisk had already indicated they expected 1Q pricing to be soft.
With shares trading at just over 6x 2012 EPS ex-cash (SanDisk has approximately $16 per share of net cash), we believe the deck has been cleared on bad news, and the company is set for upside surprises.
We outline below several positive catalysts:
SanDisk analyst day - On February 16th SanDisk will host its annual analyst day. With the bad news out of the way, it should be a generally upbeat day, with lots of excitement regarding the mainstream enterprise adoption of SSDs (solid-state drives). SanDisk CEO Sanjay Malhotra indicated that 2H12 will be the inflection point for SSDs so we anticipate a good deal of discussion regarding that opportunity. We believe that to the extent the company discusses NAND supply/demand dynamics, they will be more upbeat than on the 4Q call.
Firming DRAM helps NAND - With SanDisk's price cut in the rearview, we expect better NAND pricing (or at least slower price degradation) over the course of 2012. We believe recent troubles in the DRAM industry, including the potential bankruptcy of Elpida, will result in firming DRAM prices - a positive for Micron (MU), which, in anticipation of better pricing, has been trading dramatically higher (up 32%) year-to-date. Given the fungibility of DRAM/NAND capacity, a better DRAM price environment diminishes the motivation to shift DRAM capacity to NAND, and, on the margin, helps NAND pricing.
Apple introductions - We expect the introduction of iPad3 and later this year, new flash drive only notebooks to drive excitement and demand in the flash sector. We would anticipate that notebook/ultrabook manufacturers will quickly have to react to Apple's introductions, driving additional demand - also, clearly a negative for Seagate (STX) and Western Digital (WDC).
Turning on Fab 5 - CFO Judy Bruner spoke at length on the 4Q call that Fab 5 would turn on no earlier than July. We expect that SanDisk will turn Fab 5 on in July, and when that news breaks, likely several months in advance, we anticipate a further positive reaction.
We believe shares have about a 10% downside/60% upside over the next 6-9 months, at current levels. At 10% down, we'd expect the company to aggressively repurchase shares creating a floor in the stock, while 60% upside represents multiple expansion to 10x CY13 EPS plus cash. We would prefer to see the company in the market, aggressively repurchasing shares today - it would be massively accretive to earnings.
While we have a favorable view on shares, we have one fairly meaningful concern. We were surprised by how emphatic management was about pushing out Fab 5. Historically, former CEO and co-founder Eli Harari spoke tirelessly about the price elasticity of NAND. Lower prices spurred adoption and opened new markets, and also shifted consumers to using higher capacities (ie a 4GB card instead of a 2GB card). If capacity came on too soon, it would result in a weak period followed by an explosive period. Perhaps we are reading too much into it, and SanDisk is merely timing the market. It's just somewhat strange that SanDisk wouldn't be prepared with more internal capacity in front of an "inflection point" for SSDs.
This is something we'll monitor closely. Nonetheless, with shares at current levels, we believe the risk/reward is too compelling not to own.
Disclosure: I am long SNDK.

Nomura Securities Reiterates a 'Buy' on SanDisk (SNDK); 4Q Preview
January 23, 2012 10:34 AM EST
Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) price target of $65.00.
Analyst, Sidney Ho, said, "SanDisk will report 4Q11 results on Wednesday, January 25, after the market close. We expect revenue to come in at the high end of guidance ($1.5-1.6bn), vs. our/consensus estimate of $1.57bn. We believe strong OEM business will more than offset weak retail sales. Favorable mix should drive better pricing and margins. As such, we see upside to our EPS estimate of $1.28 (consensus at $1.25). Favorable demand-supply especially in 2H 2012 should drive upside to revenue growth and gross margins in 2012. In our view, the solid state drive (SSD) opportunity for both client and enterprise is underappreciated. Consensus is only pricing in normal seasonal trends in our view."

SanDisk gains from boom in SSD storage
The maker of USB drives and flash memory cards will derive more of its value from them in the future.
By Trefis on Mon, Jan 16, 2012 2:15 PM
This year could be big for SanDisk (SNDK 0.00%) as technology advancements, changing dynamics in the PC industry, new enterprise server and storage architecture, and hard disk drive (HDD) shortages boost the worldwide solid-state-drive (SSD) storage market.
According to a report from the research firm IDC, solid-state-storage industry revenue reached $5 billion in 2011, a 105% increase from the $2.4 billion in 2010, and it's expected to expand further in 2012 and beyond. The report estimates worldwide SSD shipments will increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.5% from 2010 to 2015. SanDisk competes primarily with Samsung and Toshiba in the SSD market.
While SanDisk derives most of its revenue from the sale of flash memory cards and USB drives, SSDs are fast becoming a major product segment. We estimate that SanDisk will derive more of its value from SSDs in the future.
Below we take a look at the major factors driving growth in SSDs:
In 2011, SSD market revenue more than doubled, driven by increasing use of flash in enterprise solutions, explosive growth of mobile client devices, and lower SSD pricing. These factors, in addition to a shortfall in HDD supply resulting from flooding in Thailand in late 2011, are expected to drive SSD shipments and revenues up in 2012.
Pricing has been a key metric as far as adoption of SSDs is concerned, in both client and enterprise markets. Because HDDs are much cheaper than SSDs, they are the preferred choice for storage as long as performance (both speed and size) is not an issue. However, with IDC expecting client SSD prices to fall below $1 per gigabyte in the second half of 2012, SSD adoption in the PC market could get a boost.
Also, the flooding in Thailand has disrupted the PC supply chain and the HDD industry's ability to supply the market. OEMs are taking a hit from HDD shortages and higher HDD prices, and they are expected to turn to SSD vendors to fill supply gaps.
The PC market is witnessing massive changes from growth in media tablets and ultrabooks (thin and fast notebooks typically equipped with SSD storage) to the increased use of caching solutions, such as dual drives (systems containing both an SSD and an HDD). With a slurry of PC manufacturers launching ultrabooks in 2012, this could be a big year for SSDs -- as well as SanDisk.
In the age of cloud, enterprises are finding HDD incapable of keeping up with the high computing speeds required by their complex applications. This is driving the adoption of solid state storage as a complementary solution to HDD storage for enterprise applications.
While most of the data archiving will still be done using HDDs for the foreseeable future because of the low price, the more frequently used data (or cache) will shift to SSDs.
We have a $50.60 Trefis price estimate for SanDisk and will soon release our new model for SanDisk with a separate breakout for SSDs.

4 Mid-Cap Tech Stocks To Buy In 2012, 1 To Avoid
December 30, 2011
The following is a list of 4 midcap technology stocks which are likely to show good stock price appreciation in 2012:
Sandisk (SNDK): SanDisk Corporation is engaged in designing, developing and manufacturing data storage solutions in a range of form factors using the flash memory, controller and firmware technologies. The Company’s products are used in a range of consumer electronics devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, eReaders, global positioning system devices, gaming systems, imaging devices and computing platforms. Sandisk’s EPS forecast for the current year is $4.59 and next year is $5.07. According to the consensus estimates, its top line is expected to grow 17.30% next year.
In the near term, SanDisk is likely to benefit from an improved product mix as solid state drive adoption in PCs is accelerating due to the expected hard disk drive shortage caused by Thai floods. While the Thailand floods have negatively affected DRAM and PC, they are a net positive for the NAND market.
In the medium term SanDisk’s exposure to high growth NAND Flash market and increasing competitive barrier to entry in the NAND market are likely to bode well for SanDisk. Unlike DRAM, NAND is no longer a commodity business. Technical issues create huge variations in performance between solutions and higher performance solutions enabled by advanced controllers command high premiums.
SanDisk is financially strong with ~$2.5bn or $10/share in short term cash and $2.7bn or $11/share in long term investments offset by $1.6bn or $6.50/share in long term debt. Adjusted for cash Sandisk is trading at less than 6x FY12 earnings which is attractive given its leadership position in the industry.

Paul Tudor Jones II is the founder of Tudor Investment. As of September 9, 2011, Jones has 701 stocks of total value of 2.583 million with quarter over quarter turnover of 2.6% and a net worth 3.2 billion.
Jones earned an undergraduate degree in economics from University of Virginia in 1976 as well as started to work on the trading floors as a clerk and then became a broker for E.F. Hutton. Then he went to Harvard Business School but realized that he could not learn skills that he needed in life from school. Jones' cousin is William Dunavant Jr., whose Dunavant Enterprises is one of the world's largest cotton merchants, led Jones to work for commodity broker Eli Tullis, who then mentored him in trading cotton futures at the New York Cotton Exchange.
In 1980, Jones founded Tudor Investment Corporation, which is today a leading asset management firm headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Tudor Group, which consists of Tudor Investment Corporation and its affiliates, is involved in active trading, investing and research in the global equity, venture capital, debt, currency, and commodity markets. Tudor Investment charges the hedge funds he manages two to three percent higher than the industry standards.
One of Jones' earliest and major successes was predicting Black Monday in 1987 when he tripled his money due to large short positions. Jones was instrumental in the creation of FINEX, the financial futures division of the New York Board of Trade, and in the development of the U.S. dollar index futures contract that trades there. He served as Chairman of the New York Cotton Exchange from August 1992 through June 1995.
Jones futures trading style and beliefs can be summarized with a few guide lines. He does contrarian investing by attempting to buy and sell turning points, and keeps trying the single trade idea until he changes his mind, fundamentally. When he develops an idea, he pursues it from a very-low-risk standpoint until he has been proven wrong repeatedly, or until he changes his viewpoint. Otherwise, he keeps cutting his position size down. Then he trades the smallest amount when his trading is at its worst. Jones is also a swing trader; the best money is made at the market turns. Has missed a lot of meat in the middle, but catches a lot of tops and bottoms. The key is to play great defense, not great offense. Also, never average losers. He has mental stops. If it hits that number, he is out no matter what.
No. 6: Sandisk Corp. (SNDK), Weightings: 0.186% - 119,100 Shares
Sandisk Corporation designs, manufactures, and markets flash memory storage products that are used in a wide variety of electronic systems. Sandisk Corp. has a market cap of $11.74 billion; its shares were traded at around $48.84 with a P/E ratio of 11.4 and P/S ratio of 2.4.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services upgraded SanDisk Corp.'s credit status a notch closer to investment grade on Dec 20, citing strong demand for the data-storage maker's memory chips. The upgrade comes as other chip makers face tough comparisons in 2012 due to weakening demand for some of their products. By contrast, S&P expects SanDisk will continue to benefit from favorable operating conditions as the proliferation of smartphones, digital music players and other such devices hold up demand for the company's NAND flash memory. S&P now rates the company at double-B, two steps below investment-grade territory. Its outlook is stable. The ratings service expects the company's financial metrics will remain meaningfully stronger than most companies with similar ratings, though the inherent volatility of the memory semiconductor sector will continue to weigh on its credit status. The stock has climbed 15% over the past three months.
Sanjay Mehrotra who is President/CEO at SanDisk Corp., sold 10,000 shares on Dec 09 at $50.08 per share for a total value of $500,788. The shares recently traded at $46.90, down $3.49, or 6.93% since the insider sale.
Paul Tudor Jones owns 119,100 shares of SNDK, valued as $5 million as of Sep. 30, 2011, which accounts for 0.186% of his equity portfolio. Paul Tudor Jones added his positions in the Jun. 30, 2011 quarter by 373.42%, again in the Sep. 30, 2011 quarter by 218.45%. He also had an enormous spike with 557,000 shares in quarter 3 2006 as well as a smaller spike with 246,000 shares in quarter 4 2008. Since late 2009, Jones had a relatively varying but low position until the most recently quarter when he went from 37,000 shares last quarter to the current 119,000.
