On August 17, Western Digital rose 3.96% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately 530.14 USD/share, with turnover of 5.1286 million USD, continuing the oversold recovery trend following its earlier post-earnings selloff.

On the news front, the storage chip sector rallied broadly, with SanDisk up over 5%, Seagate Technology up over 3%, and SK Hynix and Micron Technology up over 2%. The global storage chip supply-demand imbalance continues to intensify, with long-term supply agreements expanding from the top three manufacturers to second- and third-tier players, as supplier pricing power reshapes industry bargaining dynamics.

Meanwhile, multiple investment banks have raised their target prices for Western Digital in rapid succession: Bernstein raised its target to 770 USD, Morgan Stanley to 676 USD, and BNP Paribas to 700 USD, providing sustained support for the ongoing recovery. The stock had previously fallen approximately 13% following its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report on August 5, despite reporting revenue of 3.75 billion USD and EPS of 3.47 USD.
