A potential demand cliff may occur in the second half of the year, with long-term concerns regarding workload shifts to the cloud [1][5]. Summary by Sections Industry Background and Drivers - The hard disk industry has become highly consolidated, forming a rational duopoly. This structure has significant influence in major end markets, particularly among large telecom operators focused on AI and data projects. The industry benefits from trends in data retention demand across various sectors [2]. Quarterly Performance Expectations - Due to supply constraints, pricing remains a core reason for hard disk purchases. Revenue growth is expected to exceed last year's September forecasts, driven by improved factory utilization and favorable pricing conditions. EPS for both major companies is projected to exceed expectations by 5%, with gross margins increasing [3]. Future Price and Earnings Outlook - The primary drivers for stock price increases will be upward revisions in earnings expectations, leading to valuation multiple expansions. Western Digital's EPS is expected to be around $14 to $14.50, with an optimistic scenario reaching $17 to $18. Seagate's EPS is projected at $21, with an optimistic scenario of $24 [4].

However, significant price increases for equipment could lead to demand shrinkage and asset utilization risks, particularly in the second half of the year [5]. Companies with Downside Risk - HP and Logitech are identified as having significant downside potential due to low market consensus. Dell and NetApp also face considerable downside risk due to their current valuations being in a premium range [6]. Market Sentiment and Spending Cuts - Despite strong recent performance, concerns arise from rising commodity prices, which could lead to negative market sentiment. Hardware spending growth is projected to be the worst in 15 years, with many customers expected to cut spending plans [7].
