            Forward Guidance
            
                No formal quarterly or full-year guidance was included in the provided dataset. Given the secular tailwinds in data-center and cloud storage, the near-term trajectory for Western Digital will hinge on hyperscale capex timing, NAND/HDD pricing trends, and supply-chain stability. Investors should monitor: (1) data-center storage demand trends and enterprise HDD/SSD mix, (2) any cadence of price stabilization or pressure in enterprise storage, (3) managementβs debt reduction or capital allocation plans, and (4) cash conversion and working-capital dynamics as storage demand cycles evolve.
