Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openWells Fargo cut its price targets on Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate (STX), adding to bearish sentiment around stocks tied to AI. The article notes the lower targets don't necessarily signal a full reversal of the firm's bullish stance.
Seagate and Western Digital are positioned to benefit from stronger demand for data storage to support AI workloads, but their shares have weakened as investors weigh concerns about future supply growth and the cost of paying for capacity expansion.
Western Digital, now a pure-play hard drive supplier, gets 89% of its revenue from large cloud computing customers under contracts running into 2029. Its most recent quarter beat the company's own guidance with 44% revenue growth, 109% growth in profit per share, a 54.4% gross profit margin (the share of revenue left after the direct cost of goods sold), and a 34% free cash flow margin (the share of revenue left over as cash after running and investing in the business), and it ended the quarter with more cash than debt.
Western Digital and Seagate shares each fell about 4% in Thursday's premarket trading as part of a broader selloff across semiconductor stocks, even though demand for data storage driven by AI remains strong. An analyst quoted in the piece said Seagate is the better trade of the two.
An analyst rates Western Digital (WDC) a Buy and prefers it over Seagate, citing cheaper valuation across all measures, a net cash position, and long-term contracts being negotiated out to 2031. The analyst also argues Toshiba's planned capacity increase covers only 9-15% of new 2027 demand, posing limited risk of price competition in the near term.
