On August 24, SanDisk Corp. fell 4.33% in pre-market trading, trading at $1519.53/share, with turnover of $43.30 million. The decline was driven by a confluence of macro headwinds and sector-wide repricing of AI expectations.

On the news front, U.S. non-farm payroll data significantly exceeded expectations, pushing Nasdaq futures down 1.35% and the semiconductor ETF down nearly 3%. Simultaneously, Broadcom's AI chip sales outlook fell short of elevated market expectations. Analysts noted that the market has priced in excessive perfection for AI, and even minor disappointments could trigger sharp reassessments. Storage stocks declined broadly in pre-market trading, with Micron Technology falling over 4%, while Seagate Technology and Western Digital dropped over 2%.

SanDisk Corp. had accumulated gains exceeding 31% through August prior to this session, with short-term profit-taking pressure amplifying the pullback amid the macro headwinds. The stock previously surged on AI infrastructure demand tailwinds, including endorsements from Elon Musk and a Waymo autonomous driving computing partnership announced earlier in the week.
