A financial health check for the storage sector, focusing only on the numbers. SanDisk SNDK reported revenue of $8.96 billion this quarter, clearly exceeding the expected $8.39 billion; however, its guidance for the next quarter is set at $10.3–10.8 billion, just at the lower edge of the market expectation of $10.8 billion — causing its stock to drop over 3% in after-hours trading. On the same night, Western Digital WDC instead issued a strong guidance with a year-over-year increase of +42% to +49%. In the same sector, one is dragged down by guidance while the other is lifted by it, indicating that the divergence in this storage cycle has shifted from "market boom or bust" to "who holds stronger pricing power." Data doesn't play games with you; even in a super cycle, there are winners and losers. $BTC #ADPCoolsFedSplit #EarningsRealityCheck #SpaceXBeatEstimates
