In the volatile currents of AI-driven markets, a single analyst's conviction can reframe what others see as wreckage. Mark Newman of Bernstein, watching Sandisk shares fall 12% amid broader fears about AI financing, chose instead to see a structural transformation hiding in plain sight — long-term supply contracts that quietly rewrite the rules of risk for memory manufacturers. His doubling of the price target to $3,000 is less a prediction than a philosophical argument: that when the nature of a business changes, the way we value it must change too.
