JPMorgan pointed out that the firm could benefit from tailwinds generated by AI-induced storage demand. Cramer commented on Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) in December and remarked that the shares were “not the ones to be in.” In this appearance, he discussed the firm in the context of NVIDIA CEO’s comments at CES in Las Vegas:

“Now I wanna talk about a stock that is up 34% for the year. Sandisk. . .this is again right at the heart of when you listen to all the things that Jensen said, you wanna get memory. And memory is very thinly traded, this is a $46 billion company. But holy cow, this thing was $27 in April of 25′. It was one of the top five in the S&P. . .there’s a shortage, this is a shortage. . .there’s a storage shortage of monumental proportion which is why I don’t like the PC business.”

 

BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust also discussed Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Lastly, an underweight position in Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) (%) detracted from performance, the memory manufacturer rallied due to surging demand for their flash memory products from AI and cloud infrastructure, improved margins following Western Digital’s flash division spin-off, and bullish analyst upgrades amid tight supply and rising flash prices.”
