Sandisk Corporation (SNDK) stock has surged +70% in just 11 trading days this year, reaching over $400 a share. The scarcity in the memory chip market, especially for NAND flash memory, is driving this rally as AI infrastructure demands high-performance storage, pushing NAND prices higher.

Sandisk, spun off from Western Digital (WDC) to focus on flash memory, has seen its stock soar over +700% since becoming a standalone company in February 2025. The demand for enterprise HDD and NAND has been high, with Sandisk’s performance far exceeding expectations.

NAND flash memory technology, crucial for modern storage devices, uses floating-gate transistors to store data bits. SSDs built on NAND are essential for feeding data to AI chips, contributing to the current data center boom and Sandisk’s rapid growth in the market.

Sandisk’s financial figures are robust, with sales expected to surge 42% in fiscal 2026 to $10.45 billion and earnings projected to increase by 350% to $13.46 per share. With a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and accelerating EPS revisions, Sandisk remains a hot tech stock in 2026.
