SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) shares fell 17.75% to $853.31 on Thursday, marking the most significant single-day decline in the company’s recent history. The sharp drop was driven by a broad sell-off in semiconductor stocks, which extended a previous plunge and was fueled by concerns over memory demand and a lawmaker’s call for a pause in AI development.
What Happened
The stock opened at $998.94, a 3.7% gap down from the prior close of $1037.40. Trading accelerated lower throughout the morning, hitting a session low of $838.38 at 10:25 AM ET before closing near $853.31. The decline followed a Wednesday plunge that saw Micron Technology and SK Hynix also fall sharply. The broader memory sector sold off as investors reacted to a Democratic sweep in the U.S. midterm elections and renewed anxiety over chip demand. Bernstein initiated coverage on SanDisk with a Buy rating, while Fox Advisors downgraded the stock to Equal-Weight. A corporate action is also scheduled, with an 8-for-1 stock split effective November 20, 2026.
What The Data Shows
SanDisk printed 23 fresh 52-week lows on November 5, 2026, despite the stock trading well above its 52-week low of $183.00. The company’s market cap stands at $160.3 billion with a P/E ratio of 8.3. Revenue grew 272.4% over the trailing twelve months, and the net margin is 67.0%. Volume was 8.5 million shares, which is 0.7x the 3-month daily average. Over the last eight sessions, the stock has moved down 17.4%. Insider activity shows nine sells totaling $104,000 in the last 90 days, with no buys. CEO David Goeckeler and General Counsel Shek Bernard were among those selling. Representative Ro Khanna disclosed a small sale in August.
What To Watch
Investors will monitor the upcoming 8-for-1 stock split effective November 20, 2026, and how the broader semiconductor sector reacts to the recent political and demand signals.
