Needham & Company maintains a 'Strong Buy' on Western Digital Corp. (NYSE: WDC) price target lowered from $66 to $61.

Analyst, Richard Kugele, said, "Despite a conference call that complicated an impressive F3Q report and F4Q guide, we believe industry fundamentals remain robust. We expect strong earnings momentum for WDC and Seagate (NYSE: STX), and would use weakness in both names over the summer doldrums to build/add to positions."

Needham raises FY12 from $6.58 to $7.65 and cuts FY13 from $11.00 to $10.09.
