The analyst added that the company now has access to $4 billion to $4.2 billion, marking a "huge increase" from $300 million to $450 million prior to the deal announcement.Baruah noted that the agreement with Unisplendor also increases the likelihood of MOFOM approval which could be "so incredibly accretive" at $4.00 to its earnings per share (on a current $7.00+ normalized earnings per share).Finally, Baruah argued that the deal sends a "strong message" to the market that tremendous value "remains unlocked" in the HDD chain given the "impressive" mechanics.Bottom line, Western Digital is now partnering with a "very credible" Chinese partner.Shares remain Buy rated with an unchanged $150 price target and the stock "remains extremely attractive" at its current levels.
