The only company that didn't confirm the PPI result was SanDisk, which operates in a different segment of the storage market. SanDisk's average price per megabyte sold declined 65% on a year-over-year basis and 26% sequentially.
Other than SanDisk, however, the ideas generated from the PPI report seem very fruitful. Depending on whether you like small-caps, large-caps, value, momentum or low-price strategies, there is likely a storage name for you.
Please note that due to factors including low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float, we consider Iomega to be a small-cap stock. You should be aware that such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information, and that postings such as this one can have an effect on their stock prices.
