Analyst estimate revisions
| 30-day change | -1.2% |
|---|---|
| 90-day change | +4.0% |
| Forward EPS estimate | $31.75 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect WDC to earn is drifting higher (+4.0%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Western Digital Corporation (WDC): score, valuation & FAQ
Western Digital Corporation (WDC) is a Computer Hardware company that scores 70.6 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are Rev (A), P/E (A-) and D/E (B+). On valuation, WDC sits about 251% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 52% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is WDC a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores WDC 70.6 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by Rev (A), P/E (A-) and D/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Western Digital Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does WDC score 70.6 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). WDC earns its highest marks on Rev (A), P/E (A-) and D/E (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is WDC overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $459.44, WDC sits about 251% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 52% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 17.1x P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in WDC?
The bear case focuses on the accelerating shift to all‑flash and emerging storage technologies, threatening HDD demand; the stock trades at a forward P/E of 18, which is elevated given the sector’s beta of 2.22 and the risk of margin compression as flash pricing falls. A sustained drop in revenue growth below 20% or a margin dip below 50% would validate the risk, likely pushing the price back toward its 52‑week low of $73.14.
