On October 1, SanDisk Corp. rose 3.04% overnight, trading at approximately $1,793.42/share, with turnover of $188 million. The rally was driven by a broad rebound across the storage sector following the release of Micron Technology's fiscal fourth-quarter results, which served as a key sentiment catalyst for memory stocks.
The storage chip sector had been under pressure ahead of Micron's report, with SanDisk falling over 3% on September 28 amid widespread caution. With Micron's earnings now released, the overhang lifted and peer stocks rallied in tandem — Western Digital gained 2.42%, Seagate Technology rose 2.27%, and Dell Technologies climbed 2.18%. Supporting the bullish backdrop, Rosenblatt Securities initiated coverage of SanDisk with a Buy rating and a $2,400 price target, citing NAND flash's evolving role as a critical AI infrastructure component. Bank of America raised DRAM and NAND average selling price forecasts by 8-12% and 2-3% respectively, while Citi projected global memory capital expenditure to surge 46.5% year-over-year to $80.4 billion. In addition, Argus recently upgraded SanDisk from Hold to Buy with a $1,600 target, noting accelerating demand momentum and margin expansion.
