<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind SanDisk</h2>
SanDisk Corp is one of the five largest suppliers of NAND flash memory semiconductors globally. Sandisk is vertically integrated, producing substantially all of its flash chips at manufacturing sites across Japan via a joint-venture framework with Kioxia. Sandisk then repackages majority of its chips into SSDs for consumer electronics, external storage, or cloud storage. Sandisk was formerly a piece of Western Digital for nine years (after being acquired in 2016) and was spun off as an independent company in 2025.
<h3>Key Indicators: SanDisk's Financial Health</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Reflecting a smaller scale, the company's market capitalization is positioned below industry averages. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Revenue Growth: Over the 3M period, SanDisk showcased positive performance, achieving a revenue growth rate of 12.67% as of 31 December, 2024. This reflects a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Information Technology sector.
Net Margin: SanDisk's net margin surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 5.54% net margin, the company effectively manages costs and achieves strong profitability.
Return on Equity (ROE): SanDisk's ROE falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently using equity capital. With an ROE of 0.87%, the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns for shareholders.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is a standout performer, exceeding industry averages. With an impressive ROA of 0.73%, the company showcases effective utilization of assets.
Debt Management: SanDisk's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average at 0.06, reflecting a lower dependency on debt financing and a more conservative financial approach.
<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

Wall Street pared early morning gains by midday Monday, as investor caution returned despite a temporary easing in U.S.-China trade tensions. While the initial market reaction was positive, especially in tech, enthusiasm faded as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the trading session progressed.</a>
Over the weekend, the White House announced a provisional exemption for smartphones and semiconductors from China&#8217;s proposed 145% trade tariff. These items will instead face a 20% levy—linked to fentanyl-related enforcement—until sector-specific duties are finalized.
The development triggered a strong premarket rally in technology stocks. Yet, those gains were sharply trimmed by midday amid broader geopolitical and policy concerns.
During a White House meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, President Donald Trump said he plans to impose tariffs on pharmaceutical imports to boost domestic manufacturing. 
He reiterated a hardline stance on Iran, warning of severe consequences if Tehran develops nuclear weapons, but also suggested &#8220;flexibility&#8221; in tariff negotiations, emphasizing a desire not to harm U.S. businesses.
Defensive and domestic-oriented sectors such as real estate, utilities, and consumer staples outperformed broader markets. In contrast, consumer discretionary was the only sector trading in negative territory.
Treasury yields dropped significantly, reflecting increased demand for U.S. government debt and easing fears of foreign liquidation. The 2-year yield fell 10 basis points to 3.87%, while 10-year benchmark yield dropped 7 basis points to 4.42%.
Gold pulled back 1% to $3,200 per ounce, pausing after a three-session rally. Crude oil fell 0.8% to $61 per barrel, while natural gas slid 2.9% to $3.39 per MMBtu, eyeing its lowest level since last Wednesday.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was little changed at $84,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 2.1% to $1,630.

Producer prices cooled to 2.7% year-over-year in March, well below the 3.3% consensus, while the monthly figure declined by 0.4% — the steepest drop since 2023. 
A day earlier, consumer prices also eased more than expected. However, both inflation reports predate the implementation of new trade tariffs. The University of Michigan's latest consumer sentiment index fell sharply to 50.4, its lowest since June 2022 and below expectations. 
Meanwhile, inflation expectations surged: short-term projections hit their highest since 1990, and long-term views reached levels last seen in 1981, underscoring growing concerns over persistent price pressures. In the bond market, the 30-year Treasury yield retreated to 4.90% after briefly touching 4.99% during intraday trading. 
The dollar pared some losses, though it remained near its lowest level since April 2022, based on a trade-weighted index. 
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) topped first-quarter earnings estimates and issued upbeat guidance, lifting its shares nearly 3% and outpacing peers. 
Gold prices extended their rally, jumping 1.9% to a record $3,230 per ounce — poised for their strongest weekly gain since March 2020. The surge in bullion and silver — with the latter rising over 3% on Friday — sparked strong gains in mining stocks. 
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) soared 5.5% on Friday and nearly 20% for the week, heading for its highest level since December 2012. 
Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), the world's largest gold miner, jumped 9% on the day and 25% on the week, marking its best weekly performance since 1998.

Wall Street Rebounds, JPMorgan Jumps On Strong Q1 Earnings: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Benchmark analyst Mark Miller upgraded Western Digital Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDC#NASDAQ">WDC</a>) from Hold to Buy with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WDC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$55&nbsp;price target Thursday</a>.
Investor&#8217;s concern over tariffs has produced compelling valuations for some tech hardware stocks.
In Benchmark&#8217;s 26 years of coverage, the forward valuations of hard drive stocks have typically ranged from mid-single digits to teen multiples.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43065734/western-digital-poised-for-long-term-growth-despite-short-term-nand-pressures-analysts-say" rel="noreferrer noopener">Western Digital Faces &#8216;Challenging Pricing Environment,&#8217; But There&#8217;s Long-Term Potential: Analysts</a>
Western Digital stock is trading at the low end of this historic range. Miller deemed the stock attractive, backed by its valuation, expected double-digit growth in data center spending by the major hyperscalers, the AI opportunity, and lower expected interest expense.
In a recent survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents from companies that use cloud as their leading storage medium expect their cloud-based storage to grow by more than 100% over the next three years.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.Com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) will likely increase their combined capital expenditure by 40%, from roughly $230 billion in 2024 to $322 billion in 2025.
According to estimates, close to 89% of data stored by leading cloud service providers is stored on hard drives. Last quarter, Western Digital reported a record Nearline Exabytes (EB) shipment and Data Center sale.
Strong data center spending should continue to aid Western Digital&#8217;s stock. Driven by AI, the size of the Global Datasphere will likely rise to 175 zettabytes this year.
Western Digital has several AI opportunities. Due to the lower storage cost on hard drives, a nearline storage HDD has a unit price per GB of $0.013, while large capacity SSDs for servers have a unit price per GB of $0.123, nearly 9.5 times higher than HDDs. SSDs are attractive for both AI learning and generative applications.
AI users believe the adoption of trustworthy AI requires an increased need to store more data for extended periods, which also favors hard drives over flash.
Miller noted that the ramp-up of PCs with AI chips in the second half of 2025 will drive a refresh cycle for PCs.
As a result of Sandisk Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNDK#NASDAQ">SNDK</a>) spin-out, Western Digital holds about 24 million SanDisk stock. Miller noted that Western Digital will divest these shares and use the proceeds to pay down debt, saving an estimated $0.15 to $0.20 per diluted share in annual interest expense.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For Western Digital, Miller projected third-quarter revenue of $2.70 billion and EPS of $1.32 (prior $1.12).
Price Action: Western Digital stock closed lower by 3.94% to $34.87 on Thursday.

Wall Street roared higher on Wednesday in a dramatic reversal of sentiment, as investors cheered a surprise announcement from President Donald Trump: a 90-day pause on tariffs for countries that have not retaliated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">against U.S. trade measures. </a>
The news ignited a broad risk-on rally, catapulting major indices to multi-month highs and sending volatility plunging.
Trump's latest Truth Social post slammed China for showing &#8220;a lack of respect&#8221; and declared an immediate 125% tariff hike on Chinese goods.
&#8220;At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable,&#8221; he said.
He praised the over 75 countries that, in his words, "have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form." 
As a reward, those countries would benefit from a temporary 10% reciprocal tariff and a 90-day pause on additional duties. 
During a White House press conference, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sought to translate the president's fiery rhetoric into market policy terms. 
He described the tariff realignment as a necessary correction to &#8220;decades of imbalances in global trade.&#8221; 
&#8220;The market didn&#8217;t understand Trump&#8217;s maximum level tariffs,&#8221; he said.
Bessent delivered a series of sharp jabs at Beijing. "They sell us five times what we sell them," he said. "It's an own goal by China." He also accused Beijing of exposing itself to the world as "the bad actor," and argued that Trump's move creates the leverage to correct the deficit.
&#8220;They&#8217;ve showed themselves to the rest of the world that they are the bad actor,&#8221; Bessent stated
Regarding the new level of universal tariffs, Bessent said that &#8220;10% is a temporary floor,&#8221; which gives &#8220;more certainty now&#8221;
Equity markets skyrocketed. The Nasdaq 100 – as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – exploded 10% higher, its strongest session since October 2020.
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 7.6% to above 5,350, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 6.8%, topping 40,000. Small caps joined the party too, with the Russell 2000 climbing 9.1%.
Volatility collapsed, as the CBOE VIX Index plunged more than 27%, reflecting the market's sudden embrace of risk.
Every sector in the S&amp;P 500 traded deep in the green, led by technology and consumer discretionary. 
Within the tech sector, the Magnificent Seven saw explosive gains across the board as investors piled back into mega-cap growth theme:

Wall Street Roars As Trump Pauses Tariffs For Non-Retaliator, Hikes China Duties To 125%

U.S. stocks staged a broad-based rally on Monday, snapping a volatile losing streak after President Donald Trump hinted at a more diplomatic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">approach to tariff negotiations.</a>
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the U.S. is handling a "massive amount of requests for negotiations," referencing active talks with South Korea and hinting that China "wants to make a deal, badly."
He also mentioned a joint venture involving an Alaska pipeline and military cost-sharing, asserting that South Korea&#8217;s top negotiation team was en route to the U.S.
Meanwhile, Fed speakers begin to highlight the negative economic impact from tariffs. &#8220;We can&#8217;t really wait to the end of the quarter plus one month before we find out that investment really dropped off and GDP growth is shrinking,&#8221; Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said.
By midday trading in New York, all major U.S. stock indices were firmly in the green. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.4%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.1%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite led with a 1.8% jump. Technology stocks were the day's clear outperformers, driven by a strong rebound in the semiconductor sector.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) surged 3.3%, marking its strongest intraday gain since September 2024. Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) led the charge with a 7.3% jump, followed by Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), which both climbed 6.1%.
In commodities, gold prices rose 0.5% to $2,335 per ounce, poised to snap a three-session losing streak. Oil prices also saw a firm recovery, with WTI crude advancing 1.5% to $61.50 per barrel, reversing recent weakness. U.S. Treasury yields remained largely flat. 
In contrast, cryptocurrency markets failed to participate in the rally. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell another 1% to $78,000.

Marvell Technology, Nvidia, Tesla, Apple And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Tuesday

Wall Street's sell-off shows no signs of easing into the week's close, in what's shaping up to be the worst week for U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">equities since March 2020</a>.
The market's bleeding is now visible across the board: the Dow Jones has slipped into correction territory, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has entered a bear market after falling more than 20% from its highs.
Tech and semiconductor stocks have taken the brunt of the damage, following China's announcement of retaliatory tariffs of 34% on U.S. goods — a tit-for-tat move matching the rate once imposed by President Donald Trump.
The VIX index — also known as the &#8220;market fear gauge&#8221;&nbsp;— spiked 35% to 40 levels, heading for the highest daily close since October 2020.
Other countries are threatening retaliation, fueling fears of a broader global trade war that could disrupt supply chains and weigh heavily on the global economy.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) — a key proxy for the U.S. chipmaking industry — has plunged 16% this week, on track for its worst performance since September 2001 at the height of the dot-com crash.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) extended its losses by another 4.7% on Friday, heading toward its steepest two-day decline since 2013, as investors brace for potential revenue hits from the new Chinese tariffs.
Even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">a strong U.S. jobs report</a> — with 228,000 payrolls added in March, far above the expected 135,000 — did little to soothe nerves.
Hopes that Fed Chair Jerome Powell might strike a more dovish tone were dashed. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates">offered no signs of urgency to cut </a>rates, reiterating that the Fed is in no rush, and flagged inflation risks tied to tariffs. Powell stressed the importance of monitoring inflation expectations closely. 
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued posting on Truth Social, touting the &#8220;great jobs numbers&#8221; and warning China against behavior it &#8220;cannot afford to do.&#8221; He again pressed Powell to cut rates, saying it's the "perfect time," but his words seem to be losing sway on Wall Street.
As stocks slumped, bonds notched their best day of the year thus far. The popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 2.1%. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note were down by 10 basis points to 3.94%.
