3. Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:WDC)

Western Digital rallied to a new all-time high on Tuesday, as investors loaded portfolios amid Nvidia Corp. President and CEO Jensen Huang’s bullish outlook for the overall memory sector.

At intra-day trading, the stock climbed to its highest price of $221.23 before trimming gains to end the day just up by 16.77 percent at $219.38 apiece.

Speaking at the CES 2026, Huang believed that the memory market was a “completely unserved” sector which is likely to become one of the largest in the world amid the rapidly growing demand from the artificial intelligence industry.

“This market will likely be the largest storage market in the world, basically holding the working memory of the world’s AIs,” he said, noting that AI-related storage needs are currently outpacing current infrastructure capabilities, as the amount of context and token memory needing to be processed is just “way too high.”

Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:WDC) rallied alongside its peers, namely Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX),  Sandisk Corp., and Micron Technology Inc., among others, following the news.

On a separate note, Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:WDC)—based on its historical earnings reporting dates—would announce the results of its earnings performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 in the last week of January.

In its updated guidance, Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:WDC) said that it was looking to record revenues of $2.9 billion, plus or minus $100 million, as well as diluted earnings per share of $1.88, plus or minus $0.15.
