-- Sandisk (SNDK) is expected to benefit from better than expected NAND conditions in fiscal Q3 and a stronger pricing setup heading into the next quarter, Wedbush Securities said in a Wednesday note.
The firm said it is raising its estimates after conversations indicated Sandisk has been able to lift pricing faster than industry peers.
Wedbush now models fiscal Q3 EPS of $14.66 on revenue of $4.74 billion.
Sandisk's fiscal Q3 guide implied about 55% price increases and "with PX's lifting thought the quarter, we believe SNDK should handily exceed that initial outlook," Webush said.
The company will publish its fiscal Q3 results on Thursday.
Wedbush maintained its outperform rating on Sandisk and raised its price target to $1,200 from $740.
Shares of Sandisk were 8.5% higher in Wednesday trading.
