SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) and Micron (NASDAQ:MU) both trade near eight times annualized earnings despite extraordinary profit growth. The market appears convinced the memory cycle is near its peak. But SanDisk has revealed something investors rarely get from a cyclical business: future volume commitments paired with pricing floors. That could make the durability of today’s earnings more measurable than the valuation suggests.
