I decided to take a look at SanDisk, mainly because I see the company's name often -- usually for their USB "thumb drive" disks and memory cards used in cameras, MP3 players, etc.
So ... firing up Take Stock, I see a quality rating of 2.5. This is the result of unpredictable sales and earnings -- lots of ups and downs. SanDisk has had three consecutive years of decent sales and earning growth -- starting in 2003, but had several years of losses in the previous years. Sales have grown well over the previous 10 years. Take Stock suggests that I look elsewhere.
The IAS analysis recognizes that SanDisk is possibly a more risky investment than others. This is a high-growth industry, and there are continuing needs to make large investments. Should the market for memory hiccup, so might SNDK.
I think that I'd prefer to go with Take Stock's recommendation here ...
