Why Is Western Digital (WDC) Stock Price Down 5.36% Today, August 5? Investors Cut Storage Exposure Ahead of Earnings

AI Market Summary
Western Digital fell 5.36% as investors reduced storage-sector exposure ahead of after-close earnings, with no same-session operational warning. The move appears driven by event-risk positioning and broader weakness across memory/storage peers, reinforcing sensitivity to AI data-center demand narratives. Technically, the break below the 50-day EMA signals near-term risk aversion, leaving the post-earnings reaction to determine whether the pullback stabilizes or extends.
