On June 3, SanDisk rose 3.09% in regular trading, trading at $1,785.00 USD/share, with trading volume of approximately $5.746 billion. The rally was driven by a convergence of multiple investment bank upgrades and strengthening AI storage demand expectations.

On the news front, several major banks have recently raised their target prices on SanDisk: Susquehanna lifted its target to $3,250, Barclays upgraded the stock to Overweight with a $2,300 target (up from $1,200), and Mizuho raised its target to $1,825. Barclays characterized memory and storage as the most attractive vertical outside of accelerators, noting that supply-demand imbalances could persist through 2027.

Fundamentally, SanDisk CTO Alper Ilkbahar stated that the global AI race is becoming increasingly memory-centric rather than compute-centric, with supply shortages expected to persist through year-end. TrendForce has sharply raised its global memory market value forecast, projecting $889.3 billion for 2026 and over $1.28 trillion for 2027, representing approximately 44% year-over-year growth. The broader storage sector rallied in tandem, with peer Western Digital gaining over 5% on the day.
