  • Nasdaq Nears Record Highs as AI Growth Stocks Rally: Is It Too Late to Buy?
    April 26, 2026, 8:59 PM EDT. The Nasdaq Composite surged nearly 14% in April, erasing early-year losses and hitting all-time highs above 24,545. The rally followed a correction induced by geopolitical tensions and was fueled by renewed investor interest in artificial intelligence (AI) growth stocks, which had dipped earlier. Sandisk (SNDK) stands out, climbing over 300% in 2024 and specializing in NAND flash memory critical for AI computing, gaming, and data centers. The company reported a 31% sequential revenue increase and a net income rise of 617% quarter-over-quarter, with even stronger growth forecasted. Despite recent gains, analysts believe quality AI stocks like Sandisk still offer value, underscoring the challenge of timing the tech market accurately amid ongoing memory supply constraints and demand surges linked to the AI boom.
