Western Digital and Seagate shares slide 11% after report Toshiba plans $380 million Philippines HDD expansion

AI Market Summary
Western Digital and Seagate fell ~11% after reports Toshiba may invest ~$380m in the Philippines to double HDD capacity for AI data centers, raising concerns about future supply and weaker pricing power. Morgan Stanley characterized the move as a knee-jerk reaction, arguing HDD demand remains structurally strong and the projected supply-demand gap through 2028 likely exceeds Toshiba's incremental output, but near-term sentiment remains pressured.

Toshiba plans to invest about $380 million in the Philippines to double hard disk drive capacity for AI data centers. Western Digital and Seagate shares each fell 11% on Friday afternoon following the report. Morgan Stanley said it would “gladly” buy STX and WDC on the dip, arguing supply concerns are overstated. Even so, investor worries about added capacity and weaker pricing power dominated market reaction.
