Extended read
The semiconductor sector is witnessing a bifurcation where AI-specific hardware, particularly high-capacity NAND for SSDs, is seeing unprecedented price support. Sandisk's 635% YTD move reflects a fundamental shift in data center architecture toward high-speed storage for large language models. Analysts suggest that despite the rally, the 9.3x forward earnings multiple indicates the market has not fully priced in the duration of the supply deficit, which is now expected to extend into 2027.
