Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is one of the Best Up and Coming AI Stocks to Buy Now. Analysts have been getting increasingly more bullish on Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK). Over the past week, Morgan Stanley and Susquehanna raised price targets on SNDK with Outperform ratings.

​On June 3, Morgan Stanley raised the price target from $1,100 to $1,750 and maintained an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm’s bullish case is based on a persistent memory shortage with “no quick fix.” Morgan Stanley expects tight supply conditions to last two to three years or longer. This is seen as a meaningful tailwind for memory companies like Sandisk. Despite memory stocks already delivering strong performance in both 2025 and 2026, the firm believes the rally still has room to run.

​Earlier, Susquehanna also raised the price target on SNDK from $2,000 to $3,250 with a Buy rating. The firm noted that its industry checks point to very strong pricing momentum. For instance, the Q2 DRAM average selling prices are trending up 50% to 60% quarter-over-quarter, slightly ahead of the 50% consensus expectation, while NAND pricing remains equally impressive, tracking up 75% to 100%. As a result of the strong prices, Susquehanna has raised estimates across its memory manufacturer coverage.

Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is involved in the development, manufacture, and provision of storage devices and solutions based on NAND flash technology. The company’s products include solid-state drives, memory cards, and USB flash drives.
