Western Digital's Revenue Expected to Rise 47% in Q1 2027
Market expects Western Digital's revenue to increase 47% in Q1 2027 due to growing demand for cloud computing and AI data centers.
The growth is mainly driven by the increasing demand for high-capacity nearline hard drives in cloud computing and AI data centers.
As AI models and video and corporate data continue to grow, hyperscale cloud service providers need to constantly expand their storage capacity, making high-capacity hard drives a key solution for cold data and large data storage.
Western Digital’s revenue in the previous quarter was $37.5 billion, a 44% increase from the same period last year, exceeding market expectations of $37 billion.
