SanDisk Corp (SNDK) shares rose 6.17% to $1379.49 on Monday, October 19, as semiconductor stocks rebounded from a sharp sell-off. The primary driver was a broader recovery in the chip sector following the longest losing streak since 2006, with investors reassessing AI memory valuations after a volatile week.

What Happened

Micron Technology, SanDisk, and SK Hynix stocks climbed in premarket trading after last week’s decline, which saw the group fall 1% over five trading days. The rebound occurred as investors braced for upcoming quarterly reports from Micron and SanDisk. China’s CXMT shares fell despite a record profit forecast, a move that highlighted the competitive dynamics in the DRAM market. Analysts noted that Samsung represents a significant threat to Micron and SanDisk investors, potentially outweighing concerns related to China. The sector’s recovery followed a period where the Fear & Greed Index moved to the "Extreme Fear" zone, and the Nasdaq recorded a weekly loss of over 2%.
