WDC is trading at $421.50 (+7.8%) in after-hours trading following a close of $390.99, staging a sharp recovery despite a lack of company-specific news.
- The rebound diverges from broader market sentiment as Nasdaq futures (NQ) trade down 1%, suggesting the move is independent of macro trends.
- The stock is recovering from a 4.8% drop to $381.50 in the previous session, which was triggered by an OpenAI growth miss and a subsequent selloff in AI infrastructure names.
- No earnings or material announcements were reported by Western Digital today to account for the sudden after-hours volatility.
