Western Digital Corp. (WDC): Well-Equipped to Face the Rising Competition

Conclusion

With the competition growing stiff, it may be hard to pick the better performing company. To begin with, my core company, Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:WDC), is taking strong steps to increase its market presence by providing highly efficient services. The recent acquisition carries immense upside potential, which will benefit HGST.

However, the company does not have a history of paying dividends. Price appreciation is the only form of return for investors. In my opinion, the investment is recommended for investors who can lock their money for some time till the synergies start reflecting in the price.

With rigorous product launches coupled with the acquisition, EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC) has strengthened its foothold in the market. The future of the company is very bright as it strives to stay ahead of others through innovation. The company has also begun declaring dividends from 2013. The company is a buy candidate for investors who look forward to getting regular income along with the price return upon sale.
