On the news front, Kioxia CEO Ota announced that Kioxia and SanDisk plan to jointly invest 5 trillion yen (approximately $31 billion) over the next six years to expand NAND memory factories in Japan, targeting the AI storage demand gap.

Additionally, Moody's upgraded SanDisk's corporate family rating and senior secured rating to Ba1 with a stable outlook, reinforcing credit confidence.

The broader storage sector also benefited from NVIDIA's strong earnings outlook, with SK Hynix rising nearly 5%, Micron and Seagate gaining over 3%. Separately, filings revealed quantitative giant Jane Street increased its SanDisk holdings by approximately 540%, now owning over 5% of outstanding shares.
