On June 23, SanDisk fell 11.86% in regular trading, dropping to $2001.805/share with turnover of $3.265 billion, as a sweeping sell-off hit the global storage chip sector.
The decline was triggered by a sector-wide rout across storage and semiconductor names. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index saw all 30 constituent stocks fall sharply. Micron Technology dropped over 10% pre-market, Western Digital fell over 9%, while Korean counterparts Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both plunged over 12%. The Nasdaq futures tumbled over 800 points, and the three-times leveraged semiconductor ETF crashed 17%.
Market analysts attributed the sell-off to profit-taking following a sharp recent rally that left the sector increasingly overbought. Concerns over stretched AI-related valuations further weighed on sentiment. High retail leverage and elevated margin balances were cited as amplifying the downturn. The sell-off comes ahead of Micron Technology's fiscal Q3 earnings report scheduled for June 24, where analysts expect adjusted EPS growth of nearly 1000% year-over-year.
