  • Micron Leads AI Memory Market but Sandisk Shows Stronger Upside Potential
    June 19, 2026, 4:50 PM EDT. Micron Technology (MU) has surged past NVIDIA, entering the trillion-dollar market-cap tier thanks to demand for its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips powering AI infrastructure. Despite Micron's robust growth outlook, Sandisk Corporation (SNDK) has significantly outperformed Micron with a 4,625.9% return over the past year compared to Micron's 835.3%. Sandisk's fiscal Q4 2026 revenue guidance of $7.75 billion to $8.25 billion reflects strong data center demand for its memory products and tight supply conditions boosting pricing power. Sandisk projects non-GAAP EPS of $30-$33, up from $23.41 last quarter, with an expected earnings growth rate over 2,000%, far exceeding Micron's 626.5%. Sandisk's multi-year contracts enhance revenue visibility and customer ties, positioning it as a top AI memory stock with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
