Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Capital Allocation & Balance SheetProceeds from selling remaining Sandisk shares are planned to reduce leverage and retire common stock, which could strengthen the balance sheet and return capital to shareholders.
Customer Contracts & Demand VisibilityLong-term supply agreements and firm purchase orders from major cloud customers lock in volumes and pricing, providing clearer demand visibility and revenue stability.
Product Roadmap & TechnologyManagement's roadmap for HAMR and extended ePMR technologies targets much higher drive capacities and improved throughput, enabling the company to meet hyperscale customers' future storage needs.
Bears Say
Cost Structure HeadroomExisting cost competitiveness versus the main rival means limited scope for further per-terabyte cost cuts, constraining potential margin expansion from cost reductions alone.
Research CredibilityA disclosed conflict of interest at the research firm could undermine confidence in published analysis and reduce investor trust in the report's conclusions.
Supply Growth And Pricing PressureRapid improvements in areal density could increase HDD supply and narrow the supply-demand gap, risking weaker pricing and margin pressure over time.

WDC Earnings Call
Q2 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a strong operational and financial quarter with robust revenue and EPS outperformance, substantial exabyte growth, expanding gross margins, significant free cash flow and strengthened customer contracts. Key growth drivers include rapid ePMR/UltraSMR adoption, HAMR qualification progress and high cloud demand. Principal risks noted were the still-to-ramp HAMR program (timing/execution risk), concentrated cloud exposure (89% of revenue), a small decline in consumer revenue, and remaining SanDisk shares and debt that management plans to monetize or reduce. On balance, positive metrics, margin expansion and strong cash generation materially outweigh the disclosed risks.View all WDC earnings summariesWDC Revenue Breakdown
