Sandisk Stock Surges Ahead of S&P 100 Inclusion
Shares of Sandisk (SNDK) surged more than 7% on Friday, driven by its upcoming inclusion in the prestigious S&P 100 index. The company will replace Colgate-Palmolive in the index ahead of trading on Sept. 21. This addition is expected to trigger increased buying activity from major index and exchange-traded funds tracking the benchmark. The move also enhances Sandisk's visibility among institutional investors, who often favor stable and well-established companies represented in top indices. While short-term gains are anticipated due to this inclusion, long-term performance will depend on the company’s financial results. For its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter ended July 3, Sandisk reported a revenue surge of 372% year-over-year to $8.97 billion and strong earnings growth.
