    Does S&P 500 Inclusion And AI NAND Demand Shift The Bull Case For Sandisk (SNDK)?

    • In late November 2025, Sandisk Corporation was added to multiple large-cap indices including the S&P 500, S&P 500 Information Technology, S&P 500 Equal Weighted and S&P Global 1200, while being removed from several small- and mid-cap benchmarks.
    • This rapid index migration reflects Sandisk’s shift into the large-cap mainstream, underpinned by strong AI-driven demand for its NAND flash storage and a recent return to profitability.
    • Next, we’ll examine how Sandisk’s S&P 500 inclusion and AI-fueled NAND flash demand reshape its investment narrative despite the recent share pullback.

    Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 22 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

    What Is Sandisk's Investment Narrative?

    To own Sandisk today, you have to believe that AI-driven demand for high-capacity NAND and next-generation flash like UltraQLC and High Bandwidth Flash can support years of healthy revenue growth, while a young management team matures quickly. The recent leap into the S&P 500 and other large-cap indices matters less for fundamentals than for near-term trading: it tends to pull in index funds and improve liquidity, but the sharp rally this year and the post-inclusion pullback underline how sentiment can swing around memory cycles. Short term, the key catalysts still look tied to pricing power in NAND, execution on new fabs with Kioxia and early proof points on HBF, but index status and a higher profile could amplify both upside and downside if earnings or AI demand disappoint.

    However, new large-cap status also magnifies any stumble in AI storage demand or pricing. Despite retreating, Sandisk's shares might still be trading above their fair value and there could be some more downside. Discover how much.
