Sandisk After the July 2026 Sell-off The month of July hasn’t been kind to some of 2026’s biggest winners
It seems there was a widespread notion that investors should take some gains off the table after an incredible first half of the year. Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) were two of the best-performing S&P 500 stocks to start the year. Through June 30, Micron’s stock rose 304%, while Sandisk’s increased a jaw-dropping 858%.
That’s a lot of money made in a very short amount of time, so taking profits is likely a logical choice. However, the sell-off has been incredibly harsh to these two. Since the calendar flipped to July, Micron has fallen 20%, and Sandisk is down over 35%.
