3. Hi, My name is Corey and I‘m with ETF
Trading Research, today were reviewing
our recently published article…
5. SanDisk $SNDK stock is up 25% during
the last month. That impressive
performance makes it the top performing
stock in the S&P 500.
6.
7. SanDisk is a semiconductor company
that designs, develops, manufactures,
and markets data storage solutions. I’m
sure you’ve come across one of their
8. products inside a digital camera,
camcorder, smartphone, tablet, or
eReader. In fact, SNDK’s biggest
customer had been none other than
Apple $AAPL. They accounted for 20% of
SNDK’s sales.
9. But Apple changed suppliers… and
SNDK’s stock has taken a beating since
the news broke they were losing their
biggest customer.
10. At a recent price of $69.42 it has a market
cap of $14.3 billion. Over the last year the
company has generated $2.51 per share
in earnings per share (EPS) on over $6
billion in sales.
11. That’s a price to earnings (P/E) ratio of
27.84. Unfortunately, EPS are down 2.5%
this year from last year. The good news
is analysts see earnings growth on the
horizon.
12. Current estimates are for EPS to grow
nearly 37% next year. We’ll get more
clarity on these estimates when the
company reports 3rd quarter earnings
next week.
13. But earnings and growth aren’t the
reason SNDK has soared 25% in the last
month. Right now, SNDK stock is up
because of buyout speculation.
14. The company is discussing buyout terms
with Micron Technology $MU and
Western Digital $WDC. In fact, a wave of
M&A activity is sweeping through the
semiconductor industry.
15. There have been at least fifteen big M&A
deals among semiconductor companies
announced this year. These deals are
valued at a whopping $80 billion.
16. The major driver of this consolidation is
the rising cost of production. It typically
costs $100 million or more to develop
and produce one of today’s
semiconductors.
17. This wave of consolidation is good thing
for the semiconductor industry. It will
result in less competition and more
pricing power. And it will help lift the
value of all semiconductor stocks and
the ETFs that hold them.
18. Here are 2 ETFs with exposure to
SanDisk stock…
iShares PHLX SOX Semiconductor
Sector Index Fund $SOXX and Market
Vectors Semiconductor ETF $SMH are
two ETFs with a large weighting of SNDK.
19. SNDK accounts for 4.73% of SOXX. It’s
the 9th biggest holding in this ETF.
SOXX has an expense ratio of 0.47%.
SMH has a 2.38% weighting of SNDK. It’s
the 16th largest holding in SMH right
now.
20. This ETF has an expense ratio of 0.35%.
ETFs with SanDisk stock other
holdings…
21. SOXX and SMH both track an index of
semiconductor stocks. But the holdings
are put together differently. SOXX is
intended to replicate PHLX
Semiconductor Sector Index.
22. The index is composed of semiconductor
stocks listed on US stock exchanges.
There are 31 stocks in this ETF. SMH
tracks an index of semiconductor stocks
created by the ETF provider
23. called Market Vectors US Listed
Semiconductor 25 Index. This index
tracks the performance of 25 of the
largest US semiconductor companies.
24. Either one of these ETFs focused on
semiconductor stocks should benefit
from the wave of M&A activity sweeping
through the industry.
