Management is tying current results to AI infrastructure build outs, while also highlighting that existing fabs and joint ventures are running close to their limits. For you as an investor, the story is currently centered on how long this supply tension and pricing power can last.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">The key tension is between AI related demand and the potential for new supply as rivals such as Samsung bring HBM4 and other memory capacity online. You may want to watch how SanDisk (NasdaqGS:SNDK) manages product mix, long term contracts, and capital spending plans as the so called Great Memory Crunch evolves and competitive pressure builds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">Stay updated on the most important news stories for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywall.st\/\/company\/id\/936664f9-8680-4059-8e82-b8b6ee87611e\/valuation?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=news_stay_updated_cta&amp;utm_source=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sandisk;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Sandisk<\/a> by adding it to your <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/features\/stock-watchlist?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=news_stay_updated_cta&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4427016\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:watchlist;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">watchlist<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/portfolio\/demo?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=news_stay_updated_cta&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4427016\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:portfolio;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">portfolio<\/a>.
