We're not expecting Western Digital Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Western Digital Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 4 June 1997. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Western Digital Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Western Digital Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Western Digital Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Western Digital Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.73 up to $63. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Western Digital Corporation's is 1.6826. This would suggest that Western Digital Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
