On September 23, SanDisk Corp. declined 3.19% in regular trading, trading at approximately $1,829 per share, with turnover of $5.426 billion. The stock retreated after surging over 6% in the prior session to a two-month high, driven by Rosenblatt Securities initiating coverage with a Buy rating and a $2,400 price target.

Adding to selling pressure, Chairman and CEO David Goeckeler has been reducing his stake through a series of pre-planned transactions. On September 17, he sold 33,841 shares across 15 transactions at prices ranging from $1,567 to $1,587, cashing out approximately $53.27 million. Earlier on September 14, he sold an additional 31,478 shares. All disposals were executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on May 29. Following these sales, Goeckeler directly holds 382,865 shares.

Meanwhile, the broader storage sector also saw weakness, with Seagate Technology down 1.47% and Western Digital down 0.93%. Options market data from the prior session showed a $314 million covered-call structure on SanDisk, suggesting institutional participants were capping upside exposure, reinforcing a cautious near-term tone despite the constructive longer-term outlook on NAND fundamentals.
