On September 28, SanDisk Corp. fell 3.61% in regular trading, trading at $1,719.6/share, with turnover of $1.692 billion. The storage chip sector broadly declined ahead of Micron Technology's earnings report scheduled for Wednesday after market close, with cautious sentiment dominating the tape.

Multiple headwinds converged on the sector. Reports that SK Hynix subsidiary Solidigm may pursue a U.S. IPO valued up to $100 billion triggered concerns over complex corporate governance structures, sending SK Hynix down over 3.5% and weighing on peers. Deutsche Bank analyst Melissa Weathers remains constructive on Micron, projecting DRAM demand CAGR of approximately 21% through 2030, but investors chose to de-risk into the print.

Separately, SanDisk Chairman and CEO David Goeckeler continued significant share disposals under a Rule 10b5-1 plan — selling approximately 30,269 shares on September 17 for roughly $53.27 million and reducing holdings by 31,478 shares on September 14 for approximately $55.27 million — adding near-term sentiment pressure.

Within the Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals sector, Apple rose 0.44%, while Dell Technologies fell 2.32%, Western Digital fell 2.23%, Seagate Technology fell 1.24%, and Super Micro Computer fell 1.20%.
