Micron and Sandisk Stocks Kick Off New Year Just as They Finished 2025 -- With Big Gains -- Barrons.com

Dow Jones01-02 20:39

By Nate Wolf

Shares of Micron Technology and Sandisk posted solid gains Friday, picking up right where they left off in 2025.

The flash-memory duo were two of the 10 best performers in the S&P 500 in premarket trading. Micron stock rose 3%, while Sandisk jumped 2.8%. The Nasdaq Composite was set to open 1% higher, as tech stocks rallied to begin the new year.

Micron and Sandisk had banner years in 2025. Sandisk was spun off from Western Digital in February at $36 a share. By November, it had joined the S&P 500 and soared 559% to $237.38 as demand for flash-based solid state drives at data centers surged.

Micron, which also makes dynamic random-access memory products, was the second-best performer in the S&P 500 in 2025 among yearlong constituents, gaining 239%. Only Western Digital, with a 282% jump, topped Micron.

The gains Friday followed a rough New Year's Eve for tech stocks. Micron fell 2.5% on Wednesday, while Sandisk slipped 1.2%.
