January 28, 2025

IT hardware stocks have dropped following the DeepSeek news.

Despite the plunge, BofA Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan likes stocks such as Corning Inc (NYSE:GLW), Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (NYSE:HPE), Western Digital Corp (NASDAQ:WDC), Seagate Technology Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:STX), IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) for various idiosyncratic reasons.

The analyst anticipates Hewlett Packard will experience a pro-forma EPS increase of 8% for 2026, excluding synergies, and 18% with $350 million in cost synergies.

Western Digital: The company's key driver is the upcoming spin-off, which is expected to unlock value between $5-$10 billion.

Seagate Technology: The firm's key drivers include the ramp-up of HAMR, higher gross margins from high-capacity drives, and sustained data center spending.

Apple: The tech behemoth's key drivers include the iPhone SE launch, insourcing the modem for higher margins, WWDC with AI use cases, and iPhone 17 in Sept 2025.
