On September 8, SanDisk Corp. rose 3.39% in regular trading, trading at approximately $1,796.53 per share, with turnover of $9.894 billion. The rally was driven by a confluence of index inclusion catalysts and sustained storage sector momentum.

On the index front, SanDisk was officially added to the MSCI All Country World Index after the August 31 close, ranking among the top three additions by total market capitalization. Additionally, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that SanDisk will be included in the S&P 100 Index effective September 21, alongside Palo Alto Networks and Arista Networks. The dual index inclusion is expected to draw sustained passive fund inflows, improve daily trading volumes, and narrow bid-ask spreads, facilitating institutional allocation.

On the supply side, Kioxia and SanDisk announced a combined 5 trillion yen capital expenditure plan over the next six years, including new factory construction, reinforcing long-term capacity growth expectations targeting the AI storage gap. Bank of America projects DRAM and NAND spot prices could rise an additional 10% to 20% in September amid supply shortfalls. The broader storage sector rallied in tandem, with SK Hynix up over 6% and Seagate up over 4%.
