Risk looks worse after Why Western Digital (WDC) Stock Is Trading Lower Today - Yahoo Finance.
Western Digital (WDC) shares dropped about 4.8% in afternoon trading after the company announced it is redeeming all $109.5 million of its 3% convertible notes, set for November 16, 2026, with noteholders able to convert beforehand and receive cash for the principal plus stock for any remaining value. The decline also coincided with broader weakness across AI memory and storage peers including Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix. The stock later recovered slightly to $427.89, down 4.2% from the previous close.
Western Digital is calling in all of its 3.00% convertible notes that were set to mature in 2028 and expects most holders to swap their notes for WDC shares before the November 16, 2026 deadline rather than take cash.
