SanDisk, Micron, and Western Digital stocks drop amid Democratic call to pause AI development.

SanDisk shares fell 7%, with Micron and Western Digital down 5% each, following a Democratic lawmaker's call to pause advanced AI development and regulate the industry. This political move threatens the AI-driven demand for memory and storage products that fueled recent strong earnings for these companies. SanDisk, focused on NAND flash storage, is most exposed due to its reliance on AI infrastructure spending, while Micron and Western Digital have longer-term contracts that may buffer near-term impacts. Investors await potential legislation and further clarity on AI regulation's impact on data center expansion and memory demand.

As of Nov 05, 2026 21:03 WIB, SanDisk shares trade at USD 967.99, down 6.69% on Pluang, closely matching the reported slide. Micron and Western Digital also show declines, with Micron at USD 755.60 down 4.98% and Western Digital at USD 307.50 down 5.04%. Despite the sell-offs, Micron’s Pluang order activity remains strongly bullish at 79% buy, highlighting investor interest even amid regulatory concerns.
