-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。AI需要がHDD業界の成長見通しと将来性を構造的に改善し続けていることから、目標株価を532ドル（従来313ドル）に引き上げます。これは、2027年度EPS予想（20.45ドル）の26倍に相当し、WDCの過去3年間の平均（約15倍）を上回ります。2026年度（6月期）EPS予想を1.29ドル引き上げ9.93ドル、2027年度EPS予想を4.52ドル引き上げ16.80ドルとし、2028年度EPS予想を23.80ドルで新規に開始します。第3四半期は売上高成長が加速し（前四半期の25%増から45%増）、長期契約（LTA）の期間もさらに延長しました。一部の顧客契約は2029年度まで延長され、かつてないほどの将来性を確保することで、株価収益率（PER）の拡大を後押ししています。 WDCの最新32TBドライブは、第3四半期のエクサバイト出荷量の53%を占めました。この継続的な増加は、下半期に予定されている40TBドライブの本格生産と相まって、価格の大幅な上昇を支えるでしょう。WDCのロードマップも順調に進んでおり、同社の新しい44TB HAMRドライブについては4社の顧客で、40TB ePMRドライブについては3社の顧客で認証試験が進行中です（2026年下半期に量産開始予定）。

US Oil Update: Crude Gains After Iran Attacks UAE, Disrupts Hormuz Shipping
Crude oil futures jumped in midday trading on Monday, supported by Iranian drone attacks on an UAE energy facility and commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a move that threatens to derail fragile ceasefire talks and further choke global energy supplies.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures climbed by 3.24% to $105.19 per barrel, while Brent futures advanced by 5.15% to $113.71/bbl.On Monday, Iran attacked several commercial vessels in the Hormuz and reportedly hit Fujairah's VTTI oil terminal, which is jointly owned by IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, Vitol and Adnoc.Fujairah's Media Office said in a post on X that a large fire was caused at an oil industrial zone in the city after a drone attack from Iran. The UAE's Defense Ministry said on Monday that Iran had launched four cruise missiles at the country, three of which were successfully engaged by the country's air defenses.The US military reportedly destroyed six Iranian small boats and intercepted Iranian cruise missiles and drones fired by Tehran as Washington launched an operation to free up shipping via the Hormuz.However, in an X post on Monday, Trump said seven boats were shot down. "We've shot down seven small boats or, as they like to call them, "fast" boats. It's all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait," President Trump said in a post on Truth Social.Trump said on Sunday that the US military would try to restore transit via the Strait starting Monday and help stranded vessels exit the strategic waterway.Saxo Bank strategist Trump said the US would help guide ships through the strategic waterway, raising hopes that some disrupted flows could resume.Earlier, the UAE accused Iran of attacking a vessel affiliated with its state energy firm Adnoc as it attempted to transit the Strait. "The vessel was not carrying any cargo at the time of the incident," Adnoc Logistics & Services, a unit of Adnoc, said in a social media post.The attack on the UAE comes after Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy issued a map it said was expanding the areas under Tehran's control near the Strait to include the UAE's ports of Fujairah and Khorfakkan, as well as the coast of the UAE's emirate of Umm Al Quwain.On the supply front, OPEC+ agreed on Sunday to increase oil output by 188,000 barrels per day at the cartel's first meeting since the loss of its key member, the UAE."This increase is unlikely to be realised, given that 55% of it is expected to come from Persian Gulf producers," ING strategists said, adding that this won't happen amid ongoing disruptions in the Strait.Sultan al Jaber, managing director and Group CEO at Adnoc, said the UAE's exit from OPEC gives it greater ability to accelerate investment and expand.

Update: WTI Oil Moves Higher on Escalating Middle East Violence
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil closed higher Monday in volatile as traders eye escalating violence in the Persian Gulf.WTI oil for June delivery closed up US$4.48 to settle at US$106.42 per barrel, while July Brent oil was last seen up US$6.53 to US$114.70.Iran attacked the United Arab Emirates oil port of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman, which has allowed the country to continue exporting oil while the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. The Wall Street Journal reported Iran also fired missiles at U.S. warships and commercial vessels.Iran's Fars News Agency also reported Iranian forces struck a U.S. warship with two missiles to prevent it from moving into the Strait, which Iran blocked at the Feb. 28 start of the war, cutting off 20% of the world's oil demand supplied by Persian Gulf nations. However, The Guardian reported U.S. Central Command dismissed the report, while continuing the blockade of Iranian ports.U.S. President Trump in a weekend social media post said the U.S. would begin escorting ships trapped in the Gulf through the Strait, but offered no details on the scheme. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump "intends to use countries, insurance companies and shipping organizations to move traffic through the strait. It doesn't currently involve U.S. Navy warships escorting vessels through the waterway", citing two U.S. officials. The uncertain details of the plan has done little to lower prices, which have climbed by about half since the conflict began."The market remains fragile because the plan's implementation is uncertain, and Kuwait's oil exports reportedly falling to zero underlines how severe the regional supply disruption has become," Saxo Bank wrote.
