- Why Sandisk Stock Shot Higher Today
Sandisk shares jumped as much as 8.3% and were still up 7.9% at 11:24 a.m. ET, helped by a tech rebound and positive news in high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Nvidia has developed NVHBM, a custom HBM die with 15% lower power consumption and 30% higher bandwidth that links NVLink and HBM chips. A Seoul Economic Daily report says Nvidia asked Samsung Electronics to use TSMC's 3-nanometer process to make NVHBM dies, the first such collaboration between the two. Nvidia has also approached Micron and SK Hynix to standardize the process, which could free compute-die space for up to 30% additional compute. The article argues this suggests AI adoption still has room to grow, which would also benefit memory suppliers, and notes Sandisk trades at 19 times earnings and 6 times forward earnings.
- Sandisk Stock Rebounds 6 % to Snap Seven - Day Losing Streak as Memory Chipmakers Recover From CXMT Fears
Sandisk shares rose 6.48% to $1,383.49 in Monday morning trading on the Nasdaq, ending a seven-session losing streak that began Oct. 8. The rebound came as memory chip stocks recovered from a sell-off driven by fears that China's CXMT is advancing its chip technology faster than expected, which could boost global supply and pressure prices. Some analysts argue the threat to Sandisk is overstated, since CXMT's advances mainly concern DRAM while Sandisk focuses on NAND flash. Even after the gain, the stock remains about 40% below its record close of $2,335 in late June, though it is up nearly 780% over the past year on AI data center memory demand. Of 17 analysts covering it, 15 rate it Buy and two rate it Hold, with an average target of about $2,206; the company reports quarterly results on Oct. 29.
- The Best Growth Stock to Invest $10,000 in Right Now
Sandisk shares have surged 827% over the past year but dropped 44% from their June 22 52-week high, with fears over NAND flash demand, AI infrastructure spending and competition from China's CXMT. The author argues these fears are overblown, since CXMT doesn't make NAND flash and its DRAM technology reportedly trails Micron and SK Hynix. Enterprise SSD demand is booming on the back of the AI boom, with contract prices reportedly up 3x year over year, and McKinsey and IDC forecast annual growth of 35% and over 40% through 2030, respectively. Sandisk posted $20 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue with an 11% NAND market share, and its TAM is seen reaching $500 billion next year. The company targets mid-to-high teens annual revenue growth in fiscal 2028 to 2030 and a non-GAAP operating margin of 75% by fiscal 2030, versus 63% in fiscal 2026.

- Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: Meta Platform, Micron, SK Hynix, SanDisk and and ASML
Zacks Investment Ideas argues that three recent bearish AI headlines have unfairly hit leading names including Meta Platform, Micron, SK Hynix, SanDisk and ASML. On OpenAI, the article says the Financial Times' $50 billion figure is net revenue that excludes the full value of cloud partner sales, while the $70 billion gross figure, which includes enterprise sales that more than doubled since July, was never revised down. It says reports of slowing growth for Meta's agentic AI platform Muse are misleading, as data show Muse growing faster than any AI platform since ChatGPT launched in late 2022. Memory stocks such as Micron, SK Hynix and SanDisk fell after reports that China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) advanced a new architecture to raise memory density, but the article calls this reaction overdone because CXMT has difficulty obtaining chipmaking equipment under U.S. export controls and legacy makers still hold a wide technology lead.
- Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: Meta Platform, NVIDIA, Palantir, Cisco, SanDisk and Qualcomm
This Zacks commentary argues that investors should weigh nuance rather than take a one-sided stance in the AI bubble debate. The author sees AI as transformational, but notes that past booms often ended badly and that many leading stocks fell 50% or more from their highs. The author points to bearish calls from Ray Dalio and Michael Burry, but notes the S&P 500 was higher in 10 of the past 12 years on a total return basis, up 278%, while NVIDIA and Palantir recently hit new all-time highs. Citing valuation data, the Nasdaq 100's trailing P/E is around 29.5x versus over 100x for many leaders at the March 2000 peak, and NVIDIA trades at 34.67x. The article also notes 251 IPOs in 2026 compared with 446 in 2000, and suggests the market may be entering its explosive phase.

- Homebuilder Sentiment Drops To Lowest Level Since 2012
Homebuilder confidence has fallen to its lowest level since 2012, according to the latest NAHB and Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Rising mortgage rates and higher energy and material costs have pushed builder sentiment to a 14-year low, keeping more buyers on the sidelines. Confidence edged up in March, with the headline index rising one point to 38, but it remains below the breakeven level of 50 that separates positive from negative conditions. Prospective buyers are waiting for lower rates and greater economic clarity, while builders face elevated land, labor and construction costs. NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz pointed to global events and energy prices as headwinds, though efforts to reduce regulatory burdens could help long-term housing supply.
- Inflation data shows high energy prices still contained , for now : economists
Canada's annual inflation rate rose to 3.1 per cent in September as gasoline prices jumped 27.8 per cent amid the Middle East war, but came in slightly below the 3.2 per cent economists had expected. Excluding gasoline, consumer prices rose 2.2 per cent, after 2.4 per cent in August. Core measures, CPI-trim at 1.8 per cent and CPI-median at 1.9 per cent, suggest underlying price pressures remain relatively contained and higher energy costs have yet to spread widely. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem warned the bank was prepared to raise rates if necessary, while CIBC's Andrew Grantham said the data suggests policymakers have little rush to do so. Regional gaps were wide, with Ontario lowest at 2.5 per cent and all three Maritime provinces well above the national rate as heating oil prices surged.
- Sentiment improved , but new tariffs weigh on business outlook : BoC report
The Bank of Canada's business outlook survey found average business sentiment improved in the third quarter, though firms remained worried about rising costs and the war in the Middle East. About three-quarters of the interviews, however, took place before trade talks between Canada and the United States broke down at the end of August and Canada announced new counter-tariffs. Afterward, firms pointed to new U.S. tariffs on some goods and Canadian counter-tariffs as weighing on their outlooks, and the bank said tariffs are dampening sentiment, weakening export and investment prospects, and pushing up costs and prices. A separate consumer survey found long-term inflation expectations rose to match short-term ones, and consumers reported better financial health than last quarter, though high prices and economic uncertainty still weigh on them. The bank's next rate decision and monetary policy report are due Oct. 28.
