FWIW (probably nada given I was bullish after the last conf call when the stock was 15% higher), I am buying a bit more today. I think it is a bit of an overreaction. The... login to read the rest
Hard to be very accurate of course, but I am getting to about $9.50-$10.00 of mid-cycle FCF, around $12-$13 of adjusted FD mid-cycle EPS. Is that about consistent with what others have? That is pencilling... login to read the rest
Pretty negative market response today. Guessing mostly due to compressing margin projections. Stock seems extremely cheap under most reasonable mid-cycle earnings scenarios though. The timidness on the share repurchasing was surprising. If they had conviction... login to read the rest
just to chime in here - we can debate whether or not WDC played their hand poorly (Condor, what exactly could they have done differently, given their counterparty never wanted to engage them?) but frankly... login to read the rest
that clause just explains that SNDK has the right to continue using the IP if Tosh files for B/K (frankly not a game changer here). elsewhere in the docs it describes B/K as a dissolution... login to read the rest

Case Number: CGC17559555. These are docs related to the injunction hearing. I'd love to see the exhibit WD references talking about anti-competitive behavior by Broadcom, but looks like it is still under seal.

Certainly Toshiba has no clue (this is the management team that bought a nuclear business for $0 after doing 'due diligence' on projects they already operated but a year later impaired it by $8bn) -... login to read the rest
Condor - thanks for your thoughts. I would offer an attempted answer at some of your questions:
