Nvidia has a moat from AI dominance, whereas “SanDisk sells a commodity,” the firm continued. \nSanDisk makes NAND, which has always been a product vulnerable to supply gluts and price volatility. The implication is that investors may be assigning AI-style multiples to a commodity business.\nBut for ETF investors, the situation is more complex.\nThese ETFs are dominated by large-cap AI infrastructure leaders such as Nvidia, as well as foundries and semiconductor equipment manufacturers. This means that SanDisk’s 6% decline will not automatically affect the asset values of the chip ETFs.\nThe broader concern lies in sentiment and cycle patterns.\nCitron’s thesis is based on the idea that memory is valued like structural AI rather than a cyclical recovery trade. If this story takes hold, selling pressure may migrate to other memory stocks, including global leaders such as Samsung Electronics.\nThis is where ETF exposure becomes more relevant:\nCountry ETFs such as the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:EWY) have meaningful exposure to memory-intensive firms.\nGeneral semiconductor or equal-weight tech ETFs may have indirect memory exposure through index methodology.\nThe key takeaway from Citron's Nvidia comparison is that not all semiconductor-related investments are the same.\nAI compute leaders with pricing power are the backbone of large-cap semiconductor ETFs. The memory segment exists in a different world altogether, one that is driven by capacity cycles and margin pressures.\nSanDisk's decline, therefore, is less about stress-testing SMH or SOXX and more about the fact that \"semiconductors\" is a broad term that encompasses vastly different business models.\nThe real danger for ETF investors, therefore, is not SanDisk per se but the potential for the market to begin reclassifying parts of the chip trade from structural AI-driven growth back to traditional cyclicality. If memory serves, this trend will likely remain, and the flagship semiconductor ETFs will likely be just fine. But if it spreads, the implications might be much larger.\nImage: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2614725898","isCrawlerRequest":true}
