AI-driven data growth is lifting demand for high-capacity NAND flash and HDD. Western Digital says nearly all 2026 HDD capacity is already under contract, with long-term agreements extending into 2028 and 2029. For the third quarter of FY26 ending March 2026, revenue rose to $3.34 billion (+45%) and adjusted gross margin reached 50.5% versus 40% a year earlier.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
