Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has become the artificial intelligence (AI) storage trade everyone wishes they had bought earlier, sitting on triple digit gains over the past year with zero signs of cooling off. The data storage devices manufacturer sits right at the crossroads of the data center buildout, and that sweet spot is doing serious heavy lifting for the stock.
On April 30, the company walked into its latest earnings report, delivering strong sequential and year-over-year (YOY) revenue growth across every single end market while simultaneously expanding both gross and operating margins. Q3 fiscal year 2026 pushed gross margin clean past the 50% mark, proving that relentless innovation across a growing customer base is paying off beautifully.
