Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is one of the top stock giants that were suddenly on fire in April. Cantor Fitzgerald lifted the price target on Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) to $1,800 from $1,400 on May 1, reiterating an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm told investors in a research note that the company announced a significant NAND industry shift through long-term “New Business Model” contracts that secure significant bit commitments, demand protection, and pricing visibility across a considerable portion of future output. This reinforces a more durable and higher-margin structure. However, Cantor added that questions around long-term margin sustainability and contract rollovers still exist despite near-term upside to visibility and valuation.

In another development, BofA lifted the price target on Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) to $1,550 from $1,080 the same day, and maintained a Buy rating on the shares. The rating update came after the company reported a “strong beat” to fiscal Q3 revenue and EPS expectations, and guided Q4 “massively above Street expectations.” BofA further stated that its FY26 revenue and EPS estimates move up to $19.4B and $65.13, from $16.9B and $45.42, respectively, on higher margins and profitability.

Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is involved in the development, manufacture, and provision of storage devices and solutions based on NAND flash technology. The company’s products include solid-state drives, memory cards, and USB flash drives.
