Wamsi Mohan has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest a positive outlook for Western Digital.

The company has secured long-term agreements with multiple customers, providing visibility and confidence in sustained demand growth. These factors, combined with a higher price objective based on expected shipment growth and positive revisions, underpin the Buy rating.
