On the news front, Barclays upgraded SanDisk from Equal Weight to Overweight, raising its price target from $1,200 to $2,300, representing significant upside from current levels. This follows Citi's earlier move on May 19 to raise its target from $1,300 to $2,025, citing an AI-driven storage super cycle with NAND average selling prices expected to surge 186% year-over-year and enterprise SSD prices rising approximately 265%. Meanwhile, Seeking Alpha analyst Ricardo Fernandez set a $3,000 target, noting that SanDisk trades at just 7x forward earnings on fiscal 2027 estimates despite delivering 252% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3 fiscal 2026. The company also announced a $6 billion share buyback plan, targeting approximately 60% of free cash flow for repurchases.
