As a result of the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom, hyperscalers and enterprises are racing to build out AI data centers, peaking the demand for NAND flash memory to an all-time high. Analysts expect the stock to keep surging higher as demand for more AI data centers continues to rise, leading to a potential supply bottleneck, with SNDK largely supplying the necessary memory drives.
