# Why SanDisk (SNDK) fell 9.96% on November 5, 2026

SanDisk (SNDK) fell 9.96% on November 5, 2026 — Broad tech selloff drags SanDisk lower.

## What happened

Asian chip stocks slid as disappointing Qualcomm and Arm earnings weighed on the group, pulling SanDisk down 10%. The move was part of a broader drop in AI Memory names.

## Why it moved

SanDisk trades with the chip complex, so a sector-wide selloff driven by weak earnings from Qualcomm and Arm dragged it lower.

## Why it matters

SanDisk is part of the AI Memory theme, where AI data demand tightened DRAM, HBM and NAND supply for months. That tide is now breaking as AI-spend doubts and weak mobile demand weigh on the group.

## What would break the thesis

If the AI Memory group stabilizes and SanDisk-specific fundamentals hold, the selloff could prove a sentiment reset rather than a thesis break.
