inbj/iStock via Getty Images Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) recently delivered better than expected EPS, and 21 different analysts increased their EPS expectations. I believe that the recent separation of two business units reported by WDC, which may take place in 2024 may explain the recent optimism. In any case, given recent restructuring efforts, without the split, future FCF growth would justify a higher stock valuation. I do believe that risks related to the debt, tariffs, and taxes are w ...

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.Whil ...

IT之家 2 月 18 日消息，据路透社援引日本共同社报道，日本 3D NAND 闪存制造商铠侠（Kioxia）向其投资者、韩国竞争对手 SK 海力士（SK Hynix）提议，允许其在铠侠位于日本的工厂生产非易失性存储器。此举旨在让 SK 海力士改变其对铠侠与西部数据合并计划的反对态度，目前尚不清楚 SK 海力士是否会对此提议感兴趣。 IT之家注意到，铠侠与西部数据的合并谈判去年陷入停滞，原因是韩国公司 SK 海力士反对美日两家公司合并成大型 3D NAND 闪存芯片巨头。SK 海力士之所以阻挠合并，是因为合并后的公司规模将远超其自身。 为了克服这一障碍并获得 SK 海力士的支持，铠侠提议允许其使用由铠侠和西部数据联合运营的日本 3D NAND 晶圆厂来生产芯片。这一战略性提议旨在为合并获得批准铺平道路，最终在全球 3D NAND 闪存芯片市场中创造一个巨头。 借助铠侠提供的额外产能，SK 海力士可以大幅提升其 3D NAND 存储器产量，而无需投资扩建或新建工厂，这看起来似乎是一个颇具吸引力的提议。然而，该交易的具体财务条款尚未披露。 根据 TrendForce 追踪的 2023 年第三季度市场份额，合并 ...
