Based on current market conditions and the provided data, the 3-month forecast for Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) is as follows:

  • Month 1: The stock is expected to test the lower support level of 36.5 as it currently trades near this threshold. A breakdown below this level could lead to a retest of the next support at 30.0. The short-term moving average (SMA 20: 37.06) is slightly above the current price, indicating potential resistance.
  • Month 2: If the stock bounces off the 36.5 support, it may attempt to retest the resistance levels at 45.2 or 47.1. However, the SMA 50 (43.12) and SMA 200 (48.27) suggest a bearish trend, with the price trading below these averages.
  • Month 3: The stocks performance will likely depend on broader market trends and the companys ability to improve its fundamentals. The forward P/E of 7.26 suggests potential undervaluation, which could attract investors. However, the price action will need to break above the SMA 50 to signal a bullish reversal.
