Sandisk Corp (SNDK) fell 12.63% to $1,673.97 in a session marked by broader market anxieties tied to the chip sector and geopolitical tensions. The stock’s sharp decline came amid a broader selloff in memory and AI-related stocks, as well as concerns over a "vicious cycle" in the industry. Analysts, however, remain cautiously optimistic about the company’s long-term prospects despite the near-term drop.
The Motley Fool reported that Sandisk stock plunged on Monday, with analysts suggesting the dip presents a buying opportunity, citing the potential for a prolonged memory boom. Goldman Sachs, according to Yahoo Finance, set a high price target for 2026, emphasizing SanDisk’s performance and unusual growth trajectory. Meanwhile, Morningstar and MarketWatch noted that analysts like Wedbush’s Matthew Bryson remain bullish, pointing to the ongoing strength in memory demand despite sector challenges. TipRanks highlighted a broader selloff in chip stocks after hours, driven by concerns over South Korea’s market and SK Hynix’s weak profit forecast. Stocktwits News added that analysts are downplaying the selloff, citing new contracts and AI demand as tailwinds for SanDisk’s long-term outlook.
Over the last eight sessions, SNDK has fallen 16.5% from $2,046.60 to $1,709.40. The stock has a market cap of $283.7 billion, a P/E of 64.5, and a net margin of 34.2%. Revenue has grown 82.8% in the trailing twelve months. Insider filings show 5 sells totaling $12,000 in the last 90 days, with no insider buys. Congressional trades show 9 buys and no sells in the same period. Social chatter remains muted, with 4 posts in seven days and an average sentiment of 46/100.
The stock will face continued scrutiny from analysts and investors as the broader chip sector grapples with market volatility. Coverage breadth remains strong, with 19 stories from 10 sources in the last 36 hours and an average AI sentiment of 54/100. The long-term outlook will depend on SanDisk’s ability to capitalize on AI-driven demand and navigate sector-wide challenges.

The memory boom may last longer than you think.
Wedbush analyst Matthew Bryson told MarketWatch on Monday that generally, memory is "still in a very good place." While there are still a few "puts and takes" between dynamic random-access memory, where Micron Technology (MU) is particularly exposed, and NAND flash memory, which forms the basis of Sandisk's revenue, he said clean-room space remains a primary constraint to adding capacity, referring to physical space needed to build chips.
