Caption as posted
While retail investors fought over the crumbs of the obvious AI trades, a single forgotten hardware spinoff was running away with the entire market.
A $10,000 investment at the February 2025 spinoff IPO became:
💾 $606,900 via SanDisk 📟 $15,600 via NVIDIA
The underlying reason? The NAND memory super-cycle.
When SanDisk was spun off into its own independent public company, Wall Street priced it like a boring legacy hardware commodity. But processing data requires massive physical infrastructure to store it.
As AI models scaled exponentially, a catastrophic global shortage of enterprise flash memory caught the market completely off guard. The newly independent pure-play stock was perfectly positioned to capture the squeeze.
Send this to someone who is still looking at the hype instead of the hardware infrastructure.
