Western Digital Stock Has Fallen 53% Since June. I'd Consider a Small Position After Its Latest Report.

Western Digital reported strong fiscal Q1 2027 results with 55% revenue growth to $4.38 billion, 161% adjusted EPS growth, and a 17% dividend increase. Despite beating guidance and raising fiscal Q2 outlook to 66-72% growth, the stock has fallen 53% from its June peak due to investor concerns about hard drive pricing sustainability. The analyst suggests the valuation at 15x forward earnings reflects much of the pricing risk and recommends a small position, with the main risk being earlier-than-expected pricing declines.
