Описание: Why Western Digital is quietly winning AI | How To Trade WDC

Western Digital earned a B+ on this earnings print. Revenue came in at $3.75B, up 44% year over year on surging cloud demand, with gross margins expanding over 1,300 basis points and full-year free cash flow jumping 145% to $3.51B. The forward guide was equally strong, with Q1 revenue guided to $4.1B and gross margins stepping up to 55 to 56%. There are real things to watch though. GAAP EPS was inflated by a $2.05B Sandisk paper gain, receivables and inventories both climbed, and a higher Q1 tax rate adds a small headwind. From there, the host walks through exactly how he'd approach WDC across six different situations: getting in fresh, selling cash-secured puts, holding shares, managing covered calls, carrying LEAPS, or sitting underwater. Because the right move depends entirely on where you're standing.
