Summary
Western Digital’s stock has skyrocketed nearly 1,000% in a year, fueled by booming demand for storage hardware powering AI’s explosive growth. Strong earnings—up 45% with rising margins—confirm the surge isn’t just hype. But with the stock now expensive and SanDisk’s sale cutting exposure to faster NAND markets, some analysts suggest locking in profits. While AI-driven storage needs were predictable, the frenzy may be peaking—making it wise to consider other undervalued tech opportunities instead.
