Movement Alert｜Western Digital Falls 3.62% in Regular Trading, Storage Sector Pullback Compounded by Meta Cloud Leasing News Disrupting AI Computing Chain

Market Focus07-02

On July 2, Western Digital fell 3.62% in regular trading, trading at approximately $573.94/share, with turnover of $9.4 billion. The decline came amid a broad storage chip sector selloff coupled with news that Meta reportedly plans to sell surplus AI computing resources.

On the news front, the storage chip sector extended its collective retreat, with peer SanDisk dropping over 6% and Seagate Technology falling over 4%, reflecting clear sector-wide pressure. Meanwhile, reports that Meta intends to offload excess AI computing capacity triggered a market reassessment of AI computing supply dynamics and downstream demand for storage components, further weighing on storage stocks.

Market analysis suggests that AI-driven storage demand expectations had already pushed related stock valuations to elevated levels. The storage chip and hardware supply chain index surged nearly 160% in Q2, and Western Digital itself posted substantial cumulative gains. Current selling reflects normal technical correction as short-term profit-taking and seasonal portfolio rebalancing intensify rotational pressure across the sector.
