What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

An upbeat read from a top analyst cites 30%+ nearline enterprise growth, pricing acceleration, and margin expansion as catalysts for WDC's outperformance. Woodring's FY27/FY28 estimates of $22.40/$43.47 imply about 20x CY27 EPS, with a bull case suggesting a path to roughly doubling the stock over the next year. Technically, the stock remains in a strong uptrend but momentum is cooling.
