Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into SANM?

RICH

At today's price, Sanmina Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about 23.0% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 12.05% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 2.7% a year, so the market is asking for 20.3 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis SANM looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

What SANM's own history says about today's numbers

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
56%

Sanmina Corporation is currently running 54.7% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against SANM's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 83rd percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 31.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

SANM is trading -21.2% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -26.9%, and the deepest was -46.7% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +19.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 77th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year SANM closed higher on 56% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, SANM finished the month higher 4 of 13 times, with a median return of -2.7% and an average of -0.2%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +7.1% on average, its weakest August at -0.3%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: SANM has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 250 of 3,267 sessions (7.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +13.1% and -37.1%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against SANM's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
