Jim Cramer Expects Western Digital's Quarter to Be "Very Positive"

Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) is one of the stocks in focus as Jim Cramer shared his weekly game plan. Cramer mentioned the stock during his game plan, as he commented:

Sandisk and Western Digital report at the same time. These are our storage plays. They’ll be very positive. I don’t think they’ll get the same reception that Apple does. I think people are going to say, wow, and just keep buying these.

Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) designs and supplies data storage solutions, including internal and external hard drives, portable drives, data center platforms, NAS systems, and related accessories. While discussing the noteworthy stocks of Q3, 2025, during the episode aired on October 1, 2025, Cramer mentioned the stock and said:

The second best performer’s Western Digital, up almost 88% for the quarter. It’s in data storage along with Seagate Tech in fourth place, up nearly 64%. Now, we know this market craves data center plays like the more familiar Micron, up big now, well above where it reported, but few companies are pure plays on storage than Western Digital and Seagate.

These companies have been around the block. You know, a quarter century ago, I ran a hedge fund, and I always thought Western Digital was a terrific undervalued company that would one day get credit for its excellent technology. I actually took a 5% position in the business, but it never really did much. It’s good to see the market giving the stock its due, even if it’s 30 years too late for me.

While we acknowledge the potential of WDC as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
