New York, January 27, 2026, 10:43 EST — Regular session underway.
- Sandisk shares climbed in early trading after Bernstein reaffirmed its Outperform rating.
- Tradr ETFs rolled out a new single-stock leveraged ETF linked to Sandisk on Cboe.
- Sandisk is set to report its fiscal second-quarter results on Jan. 29, with investors on edge.
Sandisk Corp shares climbed roughly 2% to $480.01 in early trading, after hitting a high of $502.22 earlier in the session. The stock was last up $9.21 compared to Monday’s close.
This move is significant as Sandisk is set to report earnings this week, with memory pricing expectations running high. Traders are hunting for clues that AI-driven demand continues to outpace supply.
A new trading product is stoking the fire. Single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds amplify daily moves, and Sandisk has turned into one of those “high beta” stocks traders are eager to borrow for just a few hours.
Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Mark C. Newman stuck with his Outperform rating and kept a $580 price target on the stock Tuesday. He described the current cycle as an “unprecedented NAND upcycle” and noted that “a clean beat plus above-consensus guidance can still drive significant double-digit next day stock moves.” (Streetinsider)
Tradr ETFs plans to roll out the “Tradr 2X Long SNDK Daily ETF” (SNXX) on Cboe this Tuesday, with a goal to track 200% of Sandisk’s daily returns. The issuer warned that leveraged ETFs are designed for short-term moves and can stray significantly from the stock price over time. (PR Newswire)
Sandisk emerged as an independent company when Western Digital spun off its flash-memory division in February 2025. Trading under the SNDK ticker began that same month. (Solactive)
The company plans to release its fiscal second-quarter results on Thursday, Jan. 29, with a conference call set for 1:30 p.m. Pacific time, shortly after U.S. markets close. (Business Wire)
Investors will focus less on headline figures and more on the pricing and supply details for NAND — a flash memory key to solid-state drives — and whether major cloud players continue to accelerate their orders. The company’s guidance for upcoming quarters is expected to shape the market’s reaction.
That said, the situation is a double-edged sword. Leveraged products are now involved, and the stock is already volatile. So, even a minor miss or a cautious outlook could slam Sandisk shares—particularly if management suggests that supply constraints are loosening.
On Jan. 29, Sandisk will release its earnings report and hold a call, finally revealing the demand figures investors have been speculating about throughout the month.
