Needham & Company reiterates a 'Strong Buy' on Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC) price target of $61.00.

Analyst, Richard Kugele, said, "With the Thailand floods clearly in the rear view mirror, WD’s execution machine sets to work on extracting value from its newly acquired HGST operation. Even in the face of macro headwinds, a ‘meh’ PC environment, and whatever tablets are or aren’t doing to consumer perceptions, WD posted robust results and guidance. At just 3x F13 EPS and less than 2X NTM EV/EBITA, WDC we believe remains compelling and a top pick."

FY13 EPS estimates raised from $9.30 to $10.00.
