Prediction: Western Digital Gets Back to Its High Before Sandisk Gets Back to Its Own.

Western Digital and Sandisk, separated in 2025, both surged on Samsung's memory shortage forecast but face different paths to recovery. Western Digital needs a 47% gain to reach its $799.87 high and is supported by strong guidance showing continued revenue and earnings growth. Sandisk needs a 94% gain to reach $2,354.39, requiring nearly double its current earnings power without valuation expansion. The analyst predicts Western Digital will reach its high first due to achievable guidance-backed growth versus Sandisk's reliance on sustained record NAND pricing.
