Companies already tracked in the app that share the setup behind SanDisk's rerating: small next to their market, selling a scarce input, with operating leverage, and out of favour. Five themes plus the "strongest earnings cycle" list, each tracked live with the app's Signal Score and momentum. This is a watchlist, not a buy list. Most of these will not repeat SanDisk.
Spun out of Western Digital in Feb 2025 at roughly $7B. AI data centers then ran into a NAND shortage and the stock rerated.
