WSW stock (ISIN CA92940D1096) is backed by a 1.2 percent move and fresh quarterly numbers as of September 3, 2026. The market snapshot shows shares at USD 342.88, a market cap of USD 24.13 billion, and a 52-week range from USD 223.83 to USD 386.00.
Quarterly numbers matter
According to MarketBeat, Western Digital reported USD 3.75 billion in revenue for the quarter and EPS of USD 3.56, compared with EPS of USD 1.66 in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue rose 43.8 percent year over year, and consensus had called for USD 3.31 EPS.
The same report says the company set Q1 2027 guidance at USD 3.850 to USD 4.150 EPS. That gives investors a concrete benchmark for the next update.
Consensus still leans positive
MarketBeat also cited a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average target price of USD 534.56. Against an opening price of USD 448.90 and a market capitalization of USD 154.73 billion, the stock is still trading below that target level.
The comparison is clear: USD 3.56 EPS beat the USD 3.31 estimate by USD 0.25, while revenue topped the USD 3.70 billion forecast by USD 50 million. The numbers, not the headline, are doing the work here.
Western Digital details in the latest quarter
The latest figures point to higher revenue, stronger EPS, and a raised guide for Q1 2027.
Product and cash flow
Western Digital's storage business remains the core product story behind those numbers, with the latest quarter showing USD 3.75 billion of revenue and a 43.8 percent annual increase. The guide for Q1 2027 EPS at USD 3.850 to USD 4.150 keeps the focus on execution rather than slogans.
Stock level to watch
As of September 3, 2026, the stock traded at USD 342.88, with a 52-week high of USD 386.00 and a 52-week low of USD 223.83. That leaves the share price below the top of its annual range, even after the recent move.
