Computer hardware stock Western Digital, meanwhile, is 0.9% higher to trade at $71.21 this morning, after also getting bumped to "buy" from "neutral." The analyst noted rising prices for a key type of memory chip should help WDC move higher.

Western Digital stock is an outperforming equity, up 36.5% year to date thanks to a surge in interest regarding artificial intelligence (AI) chips. Looking further back, WDC boasts a 103.3% year-over-year lead, and yesterday touched more than two-year high of $74.86.
