RBC Capital maintains an 'Outperform' on SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK).
Analyst, Doug Freedman, said, "SNDK has an authorized $500mil plan (started 4Q11) of which only $4mil was used in 2011. In total, $150mil has been used since the program started with $84mil in roughly the last month."
"Retail pricing has been, and continues to be, soft. The company confirmed that spot market pricing for lower density retail 3-bit has firmed in the last week. As a result of the industry-wide oversupply, SNDK has seen a wider than normal range of prices from the low-end 3-bit per cell to the higher SSD quality 2-bit per cell and embedded eMMC products."
All In, Freedman, said, "Our take-away is that while we are longer-term positive on SNDK being able to benefit from secular growth drivers, in the near-term we believe new money should wait for pricing trends to show a positive upward movement which is required for margin upside."
