SanDisk (SNDK)

SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), headquartered in Milpitas, California, is a leading American multinational semiconductor company specializing in flash memory technology and data storage solutions. Founded in 1988 as SunDisk by Eli Harari, Sanjay Mehrotra, and Jack Yuan, it pioneered NAND flash memory products, including memory cards, USB flash drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and embedded storage for consumer electronics, mobile devices, automotive, IoT, industrial applications, and enterprise data centers. After going public in 1995 (originally under the ticker SNDK), the company was acquired by Western Digital in 2016 for approximately $19 billion; its flash business was later spun off as an independent public entity in early 2025, resuming trading as SanDisk Corporation with renewed focus on high-performance NAND flash innovations, including next-generation 3D flash memory in partnership with Kioxia. Today, SanDisk continues to drive advancements in resilient data storage, serving global markets through OEMs, retailers, cloud providers, and end consumers while benefiting from surging demand in AI, computing, and digital content.
