Research ThesisSuper Micro Computer's 15–17% margin guide against a 10.1% recent print makes the bear trade the heavier one
The $60B FQ4 backlog is the cleanest demand signal in AI servers, but the lifted 15–17% gross-margin guide against a 10.1% Q3 FY2026 print, an active export-control board review, and 16.2% short interest leave the bear case as the heavier of the two trades heading into the August 11 print.

Research ThesisSandisk's $42 billion contract floor has bought the bull case three times trailing revenue; the bear trades it for the multiple
Sandisk re-rated on one quarter of contracted datacenter revenue: three fiscal Q3 contracts carry roughly $42 billion of minimum contractual revenue, five multi-year deals are backed by over $11 billion of guarantees, and the stock still sits 45.3% off its $2,335 52-week high at 14.1× EV/Revenue, the cheapest of the three storage names on that multiple.

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
