    Question

    SanDisk Stock Declines 47% in July Amid Memory Sector Volatility

    Direct answer

    The 47% decline reflects a broader rotation out of semiconductor infrastructure. Investors are questioning the sustainability of NAND demand as Chinese competitors enter the high-end AI memory market. Despite the price action, some analysts point to 6x forward earnings as a potential floor if AI data center demand for NAND remains resilient.
