웨스턴디지털과 키옥시아 홀딩스가 합병 논의를 다시 시작해 플래시 메모리 사업을 결합함으로써 글로벌 NAND 플래시 및 데이터센터 메모리 시장에서 주요 플레이어를 만들 수 있다는 전망이 나온다. 이 움직임은 웨스턴디지털의 사업 믹스, 경쟁적 지위, HDD와 플래시 메모리 부문 간 자본 배분에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 성공적인 통합은 더 큰 규모와 교섭력을 제공할 수 있지만, 규제 장벽, 복잡한 통합 과제, 그리고 하이퍼스케일러 고객과의 잠재적 집중 위험 같은 리스크도 있다.
시게이트 테크놀로지 홀딩스 plc(STX)는 기술주 전반의 ‘리스크 오프’ 흐름 속에서 5.7% 하락했다. 이는 중동 긴장으로 인해 유가가 오르는 가운데, 예정된 실적 발표 전 투자자들이 신중해진 영향이 컸다. 최근의 강세 분석가 의견과 주가 상승에도 불구하고, 차익실현과 밸류에이션 우려가 하락에 기여했을 가능성이 있다. 내부자 거래 데이터는 회사 임원들의 상당한 매도를 보여준다. 한편 기관투자자들은 STX 주식에 대해 추가와 제거가 모두 나타나는 등 엇갈린 활동을 보이고 있다.
웨스턴디지털(WDC) 주가는 월요일 칩과 스토리지 부문 매도세 속에서 하락했으며, 이는 향후 기업 가치에 대해 월가 분석가들 사이에 상당한 시각 차이가 있음을 보여준다. 씨티그룹은 목표주가를 800달러로 올린 반면, UBS는 560달러를 제시했다. 이로 인해 240달러의 격차가 생겼는데, 이는 AI 수요가 이끄는 가운데 고정형 하드디스크 드라이브 가격과 마진의 ‘기간’에 대한 서로 다른 관점에서 비롯된 것으로 해석된다. 분석가 목표주가의 폭이 넓다는 점은 웨스턴디지털 주가 회복이 완전히 반영됐는지, 그리고 현재의 우호적인 시장 상황이 얼마나 오래 지속될지에 대한 불확실성을 시사한다.
시게이트(NASDAQ:STX)와 웨스턴디지털(NASDAQ:WDC) 주가는 오후 장에서 하락했다. 투자자들이 칩 섹터의 강한 랠리에서 이익을 실현했기 때문이다. 이번 매도세는 한국의 한 증권사가 SK하이닉스의 2분기 실적 전망을 낮추면서 더욱 강화됐다. 이 회사는 고정가격 HBM 계약에 대한 의존도를 이유로 들었다. 새롭게 불거진 중동 긴장도 유가를 끌어올려, 더 안전한 자산으로의 이동을 유도했고 시장의 방어적 포지셔닝에 기여했다.

웰스파고는 웨스턴 디지털(WDC)의 목표주가를 $575에서 $730으로 상향하며, "비중확대(Overweight)" 등급을 유지하고 31%의 상승 여력을 시사했다. 낙관적 전망은 HDD에 대한 견조한 수요, 특히 AI 구축(빌드아웃)에서의 수요와 웨스턴 디지털의 자체 ePMR 및 UltraSMR 기술에 의해 뒷받침된다. 회사는 또한 2026년 3분기 견조한 재무 실적을 발표했는데, 매출과 이익이 큰 폭으로 성장했다. 다만 현재 밸류에이션 지표는 주가가 과대평가됐을 수 있음을 보여준다.
마이크론 테크놀로지는 전략적 고객 계약(Strategic Customer Agreements, SCAs)으로 알려진 장기 공급 계약을 활용해 매출을 안정화하고 메모리 업계의 변동성을 줄이고 있다. DRAM과 NAND에 대한 AI 수요가 증가하면서 추진되는 이 계약은 마이크론 물량의 상당 부분을 커버하며, 예측 가능한 판매와 현금 흐름을 보장하기 위해 가격 밴드가 포함된 테이크오르페이(take-or-pay) 조항을 포함한다. 회사는 이러한 합의가 결국 전체 매출의 절반 이상을 차지하게 될 것으로 기대하며, 서드파티 고객 관계에 더 의존하는 웨스턴 디지털과 시게이트 같은 경쟁사보다 우위를 제공할 것으로 본다.
마이크론, 샌디스크, 웨스턴 디지털을 포함한 메모리 및 스토리지 주식이 월요일 6% 하락했다. 이번 하락은 한국 SK하이닉스의 2분기 약한 이익 전망이 촉발했으며, 이는 예상보다 느린 HBM4 출하를 언급했다. 일부 회사들은 연초 이후 누적 상승률이 200%를 넘는 등 강세를 보였음에도 불구하고, 이번 보고서는 가격 결정력과 메모리 "슈퍼사이클"의 냉각 모멘텀에 대한 우려를 불러일으켜 업종 전반의 매도세로 이어졌다.
