Western Digital Corporation enjoyed fantastic growth in 2017 where its total revenue soared by 46% to $19b!

However Western Digital Corporation hadn’t been able to replicate this feat over the years, with its total revenue stuck between $16.5b to $20.6b.

This doesn’t look good.

Shall we have a look at its net income to evaluate its profitability?

Western Digital Corporation’s net income had been growing till 2018 before the company registered losses amounting to $754m and $250m in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Things improved in 2021 as its net income swung back into the black, recording $821m.

2022’s figure came in better at $1.5b!

Looks like Western Digital Corporation’s net income is healthy and strong!

Overall, its total revenue is a cause for concern even as its profitability rises.

With this weighing on the minds of investors and traders, is this company worth a position trade?

Let’s have a look at its price chart to conclude.

Western Digital Corporation has been and continues to be innovative. One main worry is its inability to grow its total revenue.

1 Simple Strategy To Reap Explosive Profits In 2023:

2022 by far has been one of the toughest years to trade in the past 5 years.

Lots of Singaporeans who dabble in trading or investments have suffered badly this year.

From inflation, interest rates, Ukraine war, financial tensions between US & China, and most recently, the dramatic crypto meltdown...

We've seen nothing short of constant volatility and a persistently declining stock market this year.

Many people I know have incurred 5 to even 6 figures losses and others are holding on to 20-80% unrealized losses.

It’s unfortunate to see that the goals of becoming financially independent to provide better lives for their family have turned into losses for many.

Yet, as a matter of fact, all these losses could have been easily prevented and turned into profits instead if these people had the right knowledge.
