Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Buy' on Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC) price target of $38.00 (from $51.00).
Analyst, Sherri Scribner, said, "WDC did not pre-announce earnings and is scheduled to report on July 25. We expect results to be in line with consensus, but believe guidance will be very conservative after STX’s flat TAM commentary. We believe Street estimates on WDC also remain too high and expect guidance to be below consensus. The one potential positive not reflected, in our view, is WDC’s $1.5B stock buyback, which has the potential to add $1.00-$1.40 to FY-13 EPS (our model excludes buybacks)." (FY13 EPS estimate cut fromo $7.25 to $6.85 and FY14 from $7.75 to 6.30)
