Base and Bull scenarios

Base50%

Price target

$214.67

-52.7% from spot

Western Digital executes a powerful cyclical recovery through FY2027 and FY2028, with revenue expanding to $19,191.86M (+48.56%) in FY2027 and $26,249.65M (+36.77%) in FY2028, supported by volume delivery of 40TB ePMR drives. Operating margins peak at 30.0% in FY2028 before moderating to 25.0% in FY2029 and normalizing toward 18.0% in FY2030-FY2031 as hyperscalers enter a scheduled capacity digestion phase (-10.0% revenue contraction in FY2030),. Intrinsic Fair value synthesizes at $214.67, indicating that shares traded at $453.48 substantially discount full-cycle reality.

House forecast revenue schedule: FY2027 $19,192M (+48.56%), FY2028 $26,250M (+36.77%), FY2029 $27,562M (+5.0%), FY2030 $24,806M (-10.0%), FY2031 $25,302M (+2.0%).
Operating margin trajectory: FY2027 28.0%, FY2028 30.0%, FY2029 25.0%, FY2030 18.0%, FY2031 18.0%.
Cost of equity of 12.42% and WACC of 12.37%.
Terminal exit multiple of 15.0x aligned with peer STX (16.42x) and WDC historical trailing multiple (16.97x),.
Terminal growth rate of 2.0%.

-16.5% from spot

Cloud hyperscalers accelerate exabyte procurement for generative AI training and inference infrastructure buildouts, sustaining elevated gross margins and extending the nearline HDD upcycle through calendar 2031. Volume production of 40TB ePMR drives and UltraSMR platforms expands to over 60% of nearline exabyte shipments, sustaining incremental gross margins above 80%. Revenue approaches the upper consensus estimate of $34,240M in FY2028, driving operating margins above 35% and generating substantial free cash flow that funds aggressive share repurchases.

FY2027 revenue growth of 48.56% ($19,191.86M) and FY2028 revenue growth of 36.77% ($26,249.65M) reaching consensus high of $34,240M.
Operating margin sustains 30.0% to 35.0% through FY2029 driven by 40TB ePMR mix and disciplined duopoly pricing.
Nearline exabyte shipment growth accelerates above 25% annually through calendar 2029.
Terminal exit multiple expands significantly above historical averages under extended secular AI growth assumptions.
