On Monday, SanDisk Corp. rallied more than 7% in intraday trading, touching a fresh all-time high. The move comes after the company disclosed a 3D stacking patent exploring a single-package solution that integrates NAND flash memory directly beneath a GPU or AI processor, a design intended to alleviate current HBM supply tightness and capacity constraints—underscoring the emerging trend toward flash-compute integration.
Separately, Bank of America lifted its price target on SanDisk from $1,550 to $2,100 and maintained a Buy rating, arguing that the company's pricing power will be a key earnings driver. Additionally, research firm Aletheia Capital sharply raised its DRAM and HBM price forecasts, noting that memory's share of total AI hardware value could climb from roughly 40% to over 70%.
