There's currently a shortage of memory and storage products. One discount brokerage has surged thanks to a rise in retail investing and crypto trading.
SanDisk stock has surged over sixfold since going public earlier this year, but it's undervalued relative to other AI chip stocks. This valuation discrepancy largely has to do with expectations of how long favorable demand trends for the memory chip company will last.

Micron's blowout earnings and bullish guidance on AI-driven NAND demand, combined with fresh analyst price-target increases, sparked heavy buying in storage stocks.
With traders dusting off their portfolios and reviewing their investment strategies for 2026, now is a good time to evaluate this year's outperformers to see if they still hold promise for the new year.
