On October 5, Western Digital rose 3.94% in regular trading, trading at $440.625, with turnover of $631 million.
This move marks a recovery within the storage sector after Toshiba's recent announcement to invest 600 billion yen in doubling HDD production capacity led to significant earlier declines, sparked by fears of disrupted oligopoly pricing power. Options market activity preceding the rise signaled investor expectations of consolidation rather than deep declines, with dominant strategies focused on premium collection.
