On the news front, Western Digital announced it will exchange approximately 21.3 million shares of common stock with certain holders of its 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2028, involving approximately $858.4 million in aggregate principal amount. The substantial share issuance raises dilution concerns among investors, pressuring the stock in after-hours trading.
