SanDisk’s stock soars sixfold after Western Digital split in 2025
The stock market has remained robust throughout 2025, with several companies posting impressive gains. While growth and meme stocks have dominated headlines, established firms like Loews and Cardinal Health are also delivering solid returns. Meanwhile, SanDisk's surge following its split from Western Digital has caught investors' attention.
SanDisk has seen its share price climb over sixfold since separating from Western Digital in February. In the past month alone, it jumped 70%, driven by a global NAND shortage and rising demand for AI infrastructure. The company has responded by increasing prices, boosting profitability. Despite this rapid growth, its forward price-to-earnings ratio sits at around 19, lower than many high-growth peers.
The market's positive trend in 2025 reflects gains across different sectors. SanDisk's aggressive pricing strategy and AI demand have driven its rapid rise. Cardinal Health's strong quarter and growth plans keep its momentum going. Meanwhile, Wemolo's high-growth trajectory highlights the potential of AI-focused startups to achieve profitability quickly.
