Western Digital (WDC) emerged the top-performing S&P 500 Index ($SPX) stock this year, as AI tailwinds and corporate restructuring drove institutional capital to the data storage giant.
Still, Morgan Stanley analysts believe the Nasdaq-listed firm will push higher in 2026. Last week, they maintained their “Overweight” rating and $228 price objective on WDC stock.
