  • Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) slips 4% as Apple eyes China chip supplier
    June 29, 2026, 2:40 PM EDT. Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) shares dropped 4% Monday, shrugging off Jefferies' price target hike from late last week. The move comes after reports that Apple may seek U.S. approval to buy low-cost memory chips from China's CXMT. That could pressure pricing for Sandisk and rival Micron, though CXMT mostly makes DRAM and Sandisk sells NAND flash. Some analysts, like Mizuho's Jordan Klein, say the risk may be overblown given current supply shortages and solid demand into 2027-2028. Sandisk was also left off Motley Fool's new top stock picks list, which could weigh on investor sentiment for growth-seekers.
