    SanDisk (SNDK) -6.1% AH after warning it expects Q1 revenue of $1.2B, below a guidance range of $1.3B-$1.35B. The NAND flash memory vendor, which blames the shortfall on weak pricing and demand, also says its gross margin will be below a guidance range of 39%-42%. Rival Micron (MU), which mentioned seeing weak NAND pricing during last month's FQ2 earnings call, is down 1.1% in sympathy.

    True. They're also not on the Samsung train (Samsung naturally uses its own NAND products). That makes things tough in the current smartphone environment.

    Doesn't Samsung pay royalties to SNDK? I believe I read that somewhere. Theoretically SNDK has the best of both words. The only problem seems to be margin. I wonder if this is result of a legacy technology in the process of being upgraded.

    SanDisk gets royalties from Samsung, but Samsung negotiated a lower rate in '09. The profit from a royalty on a product sale doesn't match the profit SanDisk gets from selling the same product.
