The entire industry has to raise prices. Take a look at the announcements of everyone in this business, they are all losing bigtime on NAND. They have all announced price increases. This is not a WDC issue it’s the entire industry.

I took this as a press release to keep the stock price from falling below $47. That being about the value that Elliot wants the stock to be.

It also allows them to claim that Sandisk will be profitable as a separate company.

@das+1pXTZQjm we know it’s cyclical, so unless there is better bit allocation what prevents repeating this cycle

Yea, it's what needs to happen, but unfortunately SanDisk is still delusional and thinks we have a superior product.

The oversupply has been managed. This is what has been talked about for the past couple quarters.
It's unfortunate that many were affected by RIF because we always knew that things will pick up eventually.

They have to as they and the entire industry is selling at a loss. It will take a few quarters for this to happen but it has to.
