Outperform

Reason

Evercore ISI raised the firm's price target on Western Digital (WDC) to $230 from $190 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm told investors that Western Digital's remaining 5% stake in SanDisk (SNDK) is likely to be monetized in the coming weeks as the companies approach the one-year anniversary of their separation. Evercore expects proceeds to be used to further reduce debt on the balance sheet with excess capital returned to shareholders via dividend and share repurchase program. Assuming Western Digital deploys approximately 80% of this to share repurchases, the firm anticipates the company could see 3%-4% EPS upside.

Reason

JPMorgan initiated coverage of SanDisk with a Neutral rating and $235 price target. The firm says Sandisk offers leverage to the artificial intelligence-driven enterprise solid state disk "supercycle" with a "structurally advantaged" cost base via its Kioxia joint venture. However, JPMorgan views the company's current pricing power as a cyclical peak rather than a structural reset.
