SanDisk (SNDK) stock rose more than 5% on Monday (at the time of writing) as Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider raised his price target by more than 83% to $2,200 from $1,200 and reiterated a Buy rating. Ahead of SanDisk's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings, expected in August, the 5-star analyst projects a "very strong quarter," driven by persistent supply constraints in the NAND market. He expects investors to focus on additional management commentary on SNDK's long-term agreements (LTAs) and memory pricing.

Here's Why Goldman Analyst Is Optimistic on SanDisk Stock

Aside from supply tightness, Schneider also expects SanDisk to benefit from an improving product mix, thanks to its ramping eSSD design wins at key hyperscaler customers. The analyst believes that ahead of the upcoming earnings, investor expectations are very high due to the company's solid guidance and management's favorable commentary in recent weeks.

Furthermore, Schneider raised his estimates to reflect updated expectations for NAND contract pricing and higher operating expenses. The analyst highlighted that his adjusted EPS (earnings per share) estimate for calendar year 2026 is nearly 30% above the Street's consensus.

Following Micron's update on the new LTAs, Schneider expects SanDisk's commentary on the number of new agreements and their scope to be a key catalyst for the stock. The analyst thinks that another key factor that could impact SNDK stock is NAND pricing.
