# Why SanDisk (SNDK) rose 6.66% on August 13, 2026

SanDisk (SNDK) rose 6.66% on August 13, 2026 — CoreWeave lifts legacy Nvidia chips, memory surges.

## What happened

SanDisk rose alongside the broader storage and memory complex as CoreWeave demonstrated viable economics for inference on older-generation Nvidia hardware.

## Why it moved

Wider adoption of older chips in AI datacenters extends the serviceable market for NAND flash and storage solutions, improving long-cycle demand visibility for SanDisk's enterprise and client portfolios.

## Why it matters

AI Memory thesis deepens when inference workloads — traditionally capacity-light compared to training — become a meaningful driver of new hardware deployments; SanDisk captures both the edge compute and centralized…

## What would break the thesis

If hyperscaler inference adoption stalls or storage capacity gluts emerge, the thesis for near-term NAND demand acceleration falters.
