SANDISK EARNINGS REPORT🚨 Here’s what you missed; For context: a memory company normally earns 25–35% gross margin. 84.6% is not normal. That’s a shortage, not a superpower. 📉 SO WHY IS IT DOWN ~3.75% AH? Three reasons: 1. The guide says margins have peaked. Next quarter they guided gross margin to 83–85% — flat to slightly down. Revenue still grows, but the acceleration is over. 2. Two-thirds of the growth was price, not volume. Their own words. Volume growth is durable. Price growth mean-reverts. Memory is the most cyclical business in tech. 3. The bar was already sky-high. The stock is up ~500% this year. When expectations are that stretched, a beat isn’t enough — you need a beat plus an acceleration. They delivered one, not both. #sandisk #earnings #memory #stockstobuy #moneytok
