Frequently asked questions

Is WDC growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Western Digital's revenue has declined 5.3% per year, and net income grown 62.9% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does WDC have?

As of FY2026, Western Digital reported $1.1B of total debt against $1.6B of cash; operating income covered interest expense 27×.

What is WDC's profit margin?

In FY2026, gross margin was 48.9%, operating margin 34.5%, and net margin 72.9%.

What is WDC's P/E ratio?

Western Digital's P/E (TTM) is 12.65 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the WDC stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 13.4× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.

Valuation uses each month-end price against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
