Western Digital (WDC) Numbers Lowered at Needham & Company But Top Rating Maintained

Needham & Company analyst Richard Kugele lowered estimates and his price target on Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC) to $101.00 (from $124.00) on weak June quarter PCs but maintained an Strong Buy rating on the over-correction in the shares.

Kugele commented, "By now, a softer PC mkt in June is known, but we believe estimates need to now reflect that dynamic. However, we believe any “short the PC supply chain” trade has largely run its course as estimates are now being corrected."
