Sandiskis one of the firms participating in the buoyant artificial intelligence or AI market and has risen in the stock market 1.600% in the last twelve months after its spin-off from Western Digital. However, there is a key aspect to analyze before determining whether It’s a good time to buy according to Stefon Walters on Yahoo Finance: The supply shortage of memory devices.
This incredible surge is due to its role in the AI ecosystem, as one of leading providers of advanced storage devices. These devices are crucial for AI, allowing companies to store and access large amounts of data needed to train AI models.
A disadvantage of Sandisk’s rally is the high share pricewhich leaves little room for error. The stock appears to be in near perfect condition, which can be difficult to maintain.
Currently, it is benefiting from data center storage device supply shortagesallowing you to charge higher prices than usual. Once storage device production increases (especially from competitors), Sandisk’s profit margin will inevitably decline as the company will likely have to reduce prices to remain competitive.
At its current valuation and given its potential top return, Sandisk stock presents more disadvantages than advantages for potential investors. For now, I would keep them away.
Sandisk It is trading higher on Friday afternoon at $634.40. The 70 and 200 period moving averages remain below the price, RSI up at 64 points and MACD lines above the zero level.
