What the Analysts think about Western Digital

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Western Digital stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Western Digital’s Q3 FY26 revenue reached $3.34 billion, up 45% year-over-year and ahead of consensus estimates, highlighting strong demand for AI-related HDDs. (Reuters)

In February, Western Digital unveiled a new $4 billion share repurchase plan, in addition to its $2 billion existing authorization. This reflects solid free cash flow and a strong commitment to returning value to shareholders. (Reuters)

The company projects Q4 FY26 revenue of $3.65 billion, above Wall Street’s $3.46 billion consensus, showing Western Digital’s pricing power in the core HDD segment amid ongoing AI infrastructure demand. (Reuters)

Western Digital’s revenue is heavily reliant on the cloud business, which made up 89% of Q3 FY26 sales. Client and consumer segments together provided just 11%, creating a risk if major cloud providers slow their spending. (Reuters via Investing.com)

Rising electricity costs are putting pressure on data center expansion. PJM grid wholesale power prices climbed 76% year-over-year in Q1 2026 due to higher data center demand, which could eventually limit HDD purchase growth. (Bloomberg)

IDC projects NAND flash market revenues to reach $174.1 billion in 2026, a year-over-year increase of 138.5%. This rapid growth suggests flash storage is taking up a greater share of infrastructure investment and may limit future HDD demand for some uses. (IDC)
