Moody's: Execution risk weighs on Western Digital's credit vis-à-vis Seagate's
New York, March 31, 2016 -- In the near duopoly of the hard disk drive (HDD) sector, Western Digital leads Seagate in product and customer diversity, cash-generating capacity, and in the growing solid state drive (SDD) segment. However, Western Digital's credit metrics are now weaker, and its acquisition of SanDisk could either solidify Western Digital's lead or pose significant integration risks, said Moody's Investors Service.
