Western Digital (WDC) Q1 2027 earnings results beat EPS and revenue expectations

Western Digital outperformed Wall Street expectations on the back of its continued physical and cloud data storage solutions.

Coming into the end of this week, Western Digital (WDC) was the latest company to report quarterly earnings, and its Q1 2027 results looked strong as the company outperformed against Wall Street and whisper number estimates.

Western Digital reported its Q1 2027 earnings results on its investor relations website. According to the results, Western Digital’s revenue was $4.38 billion, which was up 55 percent over Q1 2026. It was also more than the $4.16 billion expected by Wall Street analysts. Meanwhile, the company’s earnings-per-share (EPS) for Q1 2027 was $4.64 per share, outperforming Wall Street’s expectation of $4.09 per share and the whisper number estimate of $4.26 per share.

Even before memory and AI component demands boomed to astronomical levels, Western Digital was one of the world’s foremost tech companies in physical and cloud data storage solutions. Under current conditions, Western Digital has shifted more of its business to storage components to better meet demand and increase its sales and performance even further after a strong Q4 2026 finish.

With the AI and memory component boom not showing any signs of cooling soon, stay tuned to the Western Digital topic for more news and updates.
