SanDisk Corp shares are under pressure after major shareholder Western Digital moved to unload 7.51 million shares in a large secondary stock sale, spooking some investors about near‑term supply and sentiment. The deal is being run as a spot secondary, signaling a quick sale that can weigh on the trading price as the market absorbs the extra stock.

The offering, led by J.P. Morgan and BofA as joint book‑running managers, was priced in a range of $535 to $555 per share, suggesting institutional demand but at levels that may feel rich amid selling pressure. SanDisk itself is not issuing new stock or receiving any of the roughly $3.09 billion in proceeds, underscoring that this move is purely an exit by Western Digital rather than a direct capital raise for the company.
