SanDisk is trading 13.3% down at $9.15 amid a sharp pullback in memory-chip names as investors take profits following significant year-to-date gains.
- The decline is fueled by rising competition fears from Chinese memory makers and a major CXMT IPO, alongside broader semiconductor risk-off sentiment.
- Macroeconomic concerns regarding interest rates and weakness in Korean chipmakers are further weighing on the sector.
- The move extends this week’s volatility, with the stock significantly underperforming a mildly weaker broader market.
