RhinoStocks	Computer storage manufacturer Western Digital is one of a couple big operators in its growing industry. And with a shareholders' meeting scheduled for this week -- there should be plenty to spur an upward move.	Love	November 08, 2009
barrons3	Microsoft can mean good things for everything from Intel (INTC) and SanDisk (SNDK) to Seagate (STX), Western Digital (WDC) and Micron (MU). It can, of course, lead to good demand for Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). The leadership capabilities of Microsoft cannot and never can be underestimated.	Love	October 29, 2009

barrons2	Q: The stock's around 30? A: Marcin: It's expected to make about $4 a share in both the fiscal year that ends in June and the June 2009 year. We think Western Digital can make between $4.50 and $5 in fiscal 2009. Hard-drive stocks never get a high valuation, but if the company gets an 11 P/E on $4.50 a share in earnings, it could approach $50 share. A company that produces revenue growth of 20% a year, generates a lot of free cash and operates in a very appealing part of the technology business ought to be able to get a 10 to 12 P/E ratio.

sarah z	The Lake Forest, Calif-based hard drive producer added $500 million to its buyback program. The amount and timing of the repurchases will depend on market conditions but the company expects the plan to be finished in five years. Since 2004, under its previous buybacks, the company has repurchased $250 million in common stock. John Coyne, WD president and CEO added, "Our sustained strong performance continues to generate substantial free cash flow even while we continue to invest in our technology, operations and integration of the recently-acquired Komag media operations into our business. The additional authorization reflects our confidence in the company's financial strength, its future and our commitment to enhancing shareholder value." On January 23rd the company delivered strong second quarter earnings with revenue of $2.2 billion propelled by a 46% increase in hard drive revenue. Net income was $305 million or $1.35 a share, a 137% gain over net income of $128 million or 57 cents a share in the same period last year. Analysts at Thomas Weisal Partners reiterated their overweight rating on the stock and awarded the stock with a huge target price of $46. They mention the company's strong position in notebook computers and external hard disk drives and they expect the company to experience above-peer EPS growth. So we have a buyback, great earnings, an overweight rating and two well-known investors into the stock. It may be time to do some more homework on Western Digital.	Love	April 09, 2008

Dweezil	19% growth, trades at 10.5 times forward earnings. Sure people say the traditional hard disk is dead, but they still make more sense than the flash offerings out there ($699 for a 32GB drive?!?!), I just don't see it happening for a few more years.	Love	July 11, 2007
