    Sandisk Surges 635% YTD on AI-Driven NAND Demand

    Question

    Sandisk Surges 635% YTD on AI-Driven NAND Demand

    Direct answer

    Sandisk has emerged as a top performer in the 2026 AI rally, with its stock price increasing over seven-fold. The surge is underpinned by the critical role of NAND memory in AI data centers, where high-speed SSDs are essential for handling massive datasets. Despite the rapid price increase, the stock's valuation at 9.3x forward earnings suggests that the market may still be underestimating the duration of the current supply-constrained environment, which is projected to last through 2027.
