Shares of SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK), Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), and Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) all closed sharply higher, delivering a meaningful rebound after a volatile stretch for the sector.

Today’s broad-based gains suggest investors treated that pullback as a buying opportunity rather than a signal of deteriorating fundamentals.
