In the past six months (April 2026 - October 2026), Western Digital's stock experienced significant movements, with a 231.91% increase over the last 12 months and a 130.62% year-to-date return, though it decreased by 17.62% in the past month. The stock's "extraordinary 2026 run" was driven by surging demand for high-capacity storage, particularly for AI workloads. Western Digital re-entered the NASDAQ-100 in February 2026, celebrating this milestone by ringing the opening bell at Times Square, symbolizing confidence in its future after the SanDisk spinoff.
