Barclays analyst Tom O'Malley upgraded SanDisk to Overweight from Equalweight.

Barclays Highlights Long-Term Contract Strategy Barclays analyst Tom O'Malley upgraded SanDisk to Overweight from Equalweight and raised his price forecast to $2,300 from $1,200, arguing that the company's contract structure is changing the economics of the memory industry. O'Malley said SanDisk's long-term agreements provide customers with both supply visibility and pricing flexibility through contracts extending as far as 2031. The deals include quarterly volume commitments and combine fixed near-term pricing with variable long-term pricing, allowing SanDisk to benefit if memory prices continue rising. Barclays added that SanDisk signed three contracts last quarter carrying roughly $42 billion in minimum contractual revenue, backed by more than $11 billion in financial guarantees across five agreements. Traders also continued reacting to broader AI storage "supercycle" themes that frame rising memory prices as a longer-term structural shift rather than a temporary spike. SanDisk Emerges As A Pure-Play AI Memory Story SanDisk remains one of the world's largest NAND flash memory suppliers and manufactures its chips through a joint venture with Kioxia in Japan. Investors increasingly view the company as a direct way to gain exposure to AI-driven storage demand because enterprise SSD shortages and data-center expansion can quickly translate into stronger pricing power for memory suppliers.
