Better Buy: Western Digital vs. Texas Instruments
Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) both produce essential components for myriad markets.
WD is one of the world's top producers of HDDs (hard disk drives), flash-based SSDs (solid-state drives), and flash memory chips. TI sells a wide range of analog and embedded chips for the automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and communication infrastructure markets.
I compared these two stocks in late January, and declared that WD's sequential growth, lower valuation, and higher dividend yield made it a better buy than TI. But since then, WD's tumbled nearly 50% as TI's stock has risen about 6%.
