Sandisk Shares Decline Amid Market Speculation Regarding Chinese Competitor CXMT
Sandisk (SNDK) shares have experienced significant volatility, dropping 14.5% in a single morning and losing 36% of their value over the last six trading days. This decline follows news that Chinese DRAM manufacturer CXMT has secured $1 billion in customer prepayments for its chips, leading some investors to fear increased competition in the broader memory market. However, analysts note that Sandisk is not a direct competitor to CXMT; while CXMT focuses on DRAM, Sandisk specializes in NAND flash memory. While there is potential future overlap if Sandisk's high-bandwidth flash (HBF) technology gains traction against HBM, CXMT currently faces technical hurdles, including low yield rates of 20% to 30% for its next-generation HBM3E products.
