Analysts Get More Bullish on SNDK Stock

SanDisk reported better-than-expected Q1FY26 results recently, beating both sales and earnings estimates. Despite this, memory chip stocks as a whole have faced large share price declines due to concerns about chip shortages in the market.

Following the results, Fox Advisors analyst Steven Fox upgraded the stock to a Buy rating from Hold, and kept his $280 price target, which implies 23.4% upside potential. Fox highlighted that SanDisk’s results and guidance reveal a significantly tighter NAND supply situation than originally anticipated, and thus sees better demand prospects ahead.

Meanwhile, Bank of America Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan kept his Buy rating and lifted the price target from $270 to a Street-High of $300, implying 32.2% upside potential. Mohan cited catalysts such as continued undersupply in the NAND market through 2026, strong demand from datacenters and AI, low industry inventory, expanding eSSD production, potential market share gains, and greater visibility from customers.

On November 21, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore lifted his price target from $263 to $273, implying 20.3% upside potential. Moore kept his Buy rating and cited the recent selloffs in memory stocks due to concerns about higher capital spending and potential easing of shortages but believes these do not affect its positive outlook.
