News Summary:

Western Digital has effectively sold out its hard disk drive (HDD) capacity for calendar year 2026, driven by massive enterprise and AI-driven storage deals. On February 22, 2026, CEO Irving Tan confirmed the company secured firm purchase orders from its top seven customers, indicating strong demand reshaping global infrastructure. Earlier the same day, SanDisk completed its "clean break" from Western Digital, its former parent, which occurred earlier this year. This separation removed a long-standing valuation overhang for SanDisk, allowing it to be assessed as a pure-play flash memory and storage solutions business. Previously, on February 21, 2026, Western Digital and other leading manufacturers like Seagate reported their production capacities were fully allocated for 2026, with hyperscale companies capturing the entire stock of hard drives amid the surge in AI infrastructure demands.
