    "excerpt": "The profit from a hard drive suddenly became like that of an AI chip. Western Digital, a U.S.-based storage company, reported revenue of $3.747 billion in its latest FY2026 Q4 earnings press release. On a GAAP basis, earnings per share amounted to $8.21. According to the company’s announcement, the revaluation gain from its stake in SanDisk was also included in the income statement. This creates two ways to interpret Western Digital’s results.

The latest earnings press release has also restated...",
