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.

The proposal lacks detailed plans and legal clarity, and the actual cost of tariffs to Americans exceeds the proposed dividend amount, making the promise unlikely to be fulfilled as stated.
