BERNSTEIN comments on $SNDK -
last line sticks out **
Sandisk's FQ4 call confirmed LTA coverage now exceeds 50% of FY27 bits and twothirds of FY28 bits, with minimum contracted value of $94B (at floor pricing) and $16.5B
of financial guarantees. This pushes actual coverage past the 60% LTA-penetration scenario
modeled in our New Memory LTA Part 1 and makes the 60-80% penetration scenarios the
most relevant for investors, on our estimates.
This implies downside is more protected than
previously thought, at over $200 EPS in FY30 even assuming >70% market price collapse.
$MU $SKHY SK Hynix Chairman Chey Tae-won:
“It took us 9 years for us to create a cluster in Yongin. Also, a chip factory requires massive land, power, water and talent.”
9 years. And somehow bears think supply shows up overnight.
"The compute demand is unprecedented."
Applied Materials $AMAT CEO Gary Dickerson just said the AI spending boom may last longer than expected. Customers are now providing equipment demand forecasts 2+ years into the future, pointing to sustained AI infrastructure investment.
