Western Digital (WDC): PT $80 But Analyst Sees Upside To $100 - RBC

RBC Capital analyst, Amit Daryanani, reiterated his Outperform rating on shares of Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC) and raised price target to $80 from $72 to account for the new Samsung licensing agreement and his belief that the NAND/HDD market remains strong which should provide a tailwind for WDC.

The analyst thinks that WDC's top-line guide is likely conservative and Samsung IP-centric which should provide tailwinds that benefit HDDs and NAND going forward. The analyst stated this creates "a goldilocks scenario that should sustain through H1:17 and beyond with an upside case for WDC's stock at $100".
