Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) shares fell 12.7% to $589.54 on June 26, 2026, retreating from a recent high but still trading 5.2% above the average 12-month Wall Street price target of $560.45. The drop trails broader tech declines, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) down 4.5% and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) slipping 0.8%. Despite the setback, WDC's valuation remains supported by fiscal 2027 earnings estimates rising to $17.94 per share, yielding a price-to-earnings ratio near 33. The company forecasts Q4 revenue around $3.65 billion and strong gross margins of 51%-52%, driven by demand for hard drives amid increasing AI data storage needs.
