Sandisk stock rises as AI memory shortage talk lifts SNDK; earnings date looms
New York, January 5, 2026, 10:51 (EST) — Regular session Sandisk Corp shares rose 1.4% to $279.00 in morning trading on Monday, as investors returned to memory and storage names tied to artificial intelligence data-center spending. The stock has traded between $266.73 and $288.95, with about 4.8 million shares changing hands. The move matters because memory chips sit at the heart of the AI buildout, and tight supply typically translates into higher contract prices and fatter margins for suppliers. Traders have been buying the group on the view that data-center demand is absorbing capacity faster than manufacturers can add it.
