Western Digital (WDC) scores 58/100 (Okay) on Score Your Stock's educational fundamentals model: in the top 40% of 503 scored S&P 500 stocks.
Its strongest pillar is Financial Safety (83/100); its weakest is Price Fairness (17/100).
Western Digital ranks #47 of 86 scored Technology stocks on Score Your Stock.
Yes. Western Digital (WDC) has a dividend yield of 0.2%, from dividends with an ex-date in the last 12 months. It pays out 2% of its profit as dividends. That payout is at least 3 times its best earlier year, so it is likely a one-off rather than a regular dividend. Its Cash & Dividends pillar scores 50/100.
From Malaysia, open an account with a broker that offers US shares (many local and app-based brokers do), convert ringgit to US dollars, then buy WDC. US shares trade one share at a time, not in lots of 100. Check the currency conversion fee and US dividend tax (usually 30% withheld for Malaysians) before you buy.
The overall score pools every measure across 5 weighted pillars: Business Strength, Financial Safety, Cash & Dividends, Price Fairness, and Risk. It uses the same rules as our Bursa scores. For banks, Financial Safety checks nonaccrual (impaired) loans, loan loss coverage and the CET1 capital ratio, from the FDIC call report of the group's main bank. Full methodology and the default weights: https://scoreyourstock.com/how. This is an educational tool, not investment advice.
