Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh upgraded Western Digital to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $50, up from $38. The analyst sees improving structural trends driving an accelerated path to supply/demand balance for memory. The firm says we are close to a cyclical bottom, with Q1 potentially seeing the peak in inventories and a tough in revenue, with fundamentals set to recover in the second half of 2023. A cyclical Q1 trough with structural improvement positions Micron, Western Digital and Seagate for upside with the shares 40%-50% below prior cycle peaks, Mizuho contends.
