Memory stock slide cools after Google AI memory tweak, analysts stay upbeat

Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) opened lower Monday with no company-specific news, as investors priced in weaker memory-demand expectations after Google’s TurboQuant AI-memory compression. MU is down about 8% and SNDK about 7%, with a five-day drop over 17%. Despite the selloff, analysts remain largely bullish: Morgan Stanley’s Joseph Moore reiterates Buy on both names with targets around $520 for MU and $690 for SNDK, noting TurboQuant affects only KV Cache memory, not overall memory. Other voices dismiss the pullback, arguing the sector’s up–side remains intact. TipRanks’ comparisons also point MU having higher upside than SNDK (roughly 58% vs 17.7%).

SanDisk Stock Dips as AI Efficiency Debate Clouds Memory Demand

SanDisk (SNDK) slid about 7% after Google's TurboQuant AI compression tech raised questions about future memory demand; the stock had also fallen following a $1B investment in Nanya Technology. Bank of America’s Wamsi Mohan remains constructive on NAND demand, citing hyperscalers and AI workloads, and notes SanDisk’s move toward longer-term, higher-margin contracts that could sustain growth. He carries a Buy rating with a $900 target, while the broader Street shows a Positive tilt with a Strong Buy consensus and upside potential. The key takeaway is that near-term volatility driven by AI efficiency chatter masks a still intact longer-term NAND demand story.

Google TurboQuant Sparks Memory-Stock Pullback, Analysts Urge Buying the Dip

Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) slid in pre-market trading after Google unveiled TurboQuant, an AI-memory compression tech that could reduce memory demand; MU fell about 7% and SNDK about 11%, with peers WDC and STX also down as the sector weighs potential weaker DRAM/NAND demand. Analysts are split on the impact: KC Rajkumar sees limited 3–5 year demand destruction and maintains a MU price target around $700, while Andrew Rocha cautions that AI memory needs could shrink demand if adoption is rapid. TipRanks data suggest MU has the strongest upside among major memory names, making the recent drop a potential buying opportunity for some investors.

WDC Stake Sale Sparks SanDisk Selloff Amid Debt Move

SanDisk stock fell about 5.7% on February 17 and slid another ~2% in after-hours trading after Western Digital disclosed plans to exit its entire SanDisk stake by selling 7.51 million shares at $535–$555, raising up to $3.09 billion to reduce debt. SanDisk will not receive any proceeds. The sale aims to swap SanDisk shares for debt held by JPMorgan and Bank of America and comes as AI-driven demand supports NAND/DRAM demand. Analysts show mixed views on SNDK, with a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target around $637.33, implying roughly 8% upside from current levels.
