If you believe WDC can sustain its very high margins and returns despite -26.8% revenue growth, then holding may be justified; otherwise, the data support reducing exposure because the stock trades at a steep premium on P/S and sits far above HPE-implied valuation range.
The valuation gap is extreme: WDC's current price of $511.72 implies -89.8% downside to HPE-based implied price of $52.13. Even HPE implied range tops out at $52.47, while WDC's current price is near the top of its own historical band, suggesting the market is already pricing in a large premium.
