What are Wall Street analysts saying about Western Digital stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Western Digital stock:

1. Mizuho analysts commented, "We believe WDC remains well-positioned with good GMs, MAMR HDD ramping, the transition from 64L to 96L 3D NAND and an attractive valuation. No change to estimates; reiterating our Buy rating and $110 PT." (5/16/2018)
2. BTIG Research analysts commented, "WDC’s business continues to operate like a finely tuned machine. The demand environment for digital storage continues to be robust, margins remain elevated, the balance sheet continues to improve, and WDC continues to generate ample cash and post earnings upside. To the latter point, F18 EPS will likely end up being in striking distance of $15, capping off 18 months of upward revisions to consensus estimates that started at $6.00. However, for 12 of those months, the stock has been range bound, as each near-term earnings boost has been seen as a can-kick of the inevitable “normalization” (CEO Milligan’s words, not ours) of supply/demand dynamics. This surely will sound euphemistic to investors, in part because there is such disagreement as to whether or not we are in a New Normal (to what exactly are we normalizing?). Regardless, the truth is that growth in shipments and erosion of ASPs doesn’t spell doom for margins and can be a good thing in an elastic market, especially as cost declines from technology leadership will mitigate volatility. While sentiment continues to be concerned about what’s over the next hill, we remain convinced that “normalization” doesn’t change the fact that supply continues to face constraints while demand drivers continue to diversify." (4/29/2018)
3. Maxim Group analysts commented, "COLM reported much stronger-than-expected Q1 results with adj. EPS of 77c handily beating our 56c estimate and 58c consensus. This was a high-quality beat with revenue (+10.2%), gross margin (+108bps), and SG&A (150bps leverage) all exceeding our expectations. Revenue beat internal expectations by $17-$18M (or ~2%) with the outperformance driven by US DTC, favorable weather, reorders, and FX. Not surprisingly, with channel inventories very clean exiting the season, the fall ’18 order book is up significantly (stronger than COLM anticipated three months ago) with momentum across most categories and regions. We are also encouraged by the traction Columbia’s spring product line (e.g. sun deflector technology, new trail product, PFG footwear) and Sorel’s (e.g. Kinetic line, Joanie and Ella sandals) is generating. On the operational front, the company is making progress on its strategic initiatives, including Project Connect and Consumer-First technology initiative, the latter of which entails a global retail ERP system rollout. In addition, the company will be launching a new Experience-First initiative (X1) with the intention of upgrading its e-commerce platform to enhance search, browsing, checkout, loyalty, and customer care on mobile devices. As such, COLM is accelerating $10M of investments behind these initiatives in 2H18 that will offset some of the benefit resulting from the upward revision to full-year revenue outlook. The company is now projecting 2018 revenue growth of +6.5%-8.5% (+4%-6% previously) and adj. EPS of $3.27-$3.37. While we commend the company for solid execution, strong Q1 results and raised guidance, we believe current valuation (~25x NTM P/E and 13.5x EV/EBITDA) adequately reflects the risk/reward. We maintain our HOLD." (4/27/2018)
4. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Western Digital is one of the largest hard disk drive (HDD) producers in the U.S. The company's healthy demand in its end-markets for high capacity enterprise hard drives and flash-based products are positives. Further, the ongoing transformation to 3D NAND technology is also driving top-line growth. We note that the company is gaining from strong demand for both hard drive and NAND-based products from all categories of customers, largely driven by cloud and mobility based applications. Moreover, the acquisitions of Upthere and Tegile Systems will help the company in expanding its presence with a wider range of products and solutions. " (3/30/2018)
5. Guggenheim analysts commented, "We expect meaningfully lower interest expense following WDC’s recent debt refinacing, which increases our annual EPS estimates by +$0.83, and reflects rapid deleveraging since its acquisition of SNDK back in mid-2016. Reiterate BUY and $125 price target." (2/1/2018)
