SanDisk Corp. (SNDK) experienced a significant 5.01% decline in night session trading, continuing a downward trend as investors engage in profit-taking following the company's strong third-quarter earnings report.
The stock has faced selling pressure despite reporting impressive Q3 FY26 results, including a 252.1% year-over-year revenue increase to $5.95 billion and earnings that significantly beat market expectations. Analysts attribute the decline to a classic "sell-the-news" dynamic, where investors lock in gains after positive earnings announcements.
Valuation concerns have intensified as SanDisk's stock surged from $33 to over $1,400 within a year, representing a gain of more than 4,000% over the past 12 months driven by AI-related demand. Additionally, SanDisk director Necip Sayiner disclosed the sale of 579 shares on May 8, 2026, at $1,503.11 per share, which may have contributed to negative sentiment among investors.
