The current stock price is $529.29, compared to the blended sale price of $511.16 and a 52-week high of $602.54.

Cole Martin I, a WDC Director, executed 14 separate sales totaling 6,000 shares for $1,630,001.81 on 2026-03-02, reducing his holdings by 16.9% from 35.4K to 29.4K shares. The sales occurred across a narrow price range ($263.66–$280.72), with a blended average of $271.67. The stock has since declined to $250.61 (current price), placing the transaction 15.5% below the 52-week high of $296.56. His prior five trades at WDC (all sells on 2025-11-05) exhibited strong 90-day performance (range +82.4% to +89.7%), though none were well-timed in the sense that the stock rose following each sale rather than falling. The company's fundamentals show annual revenue declined 26.8% year-over-year, though the latest quarter posted $3.0B in revenue and $1.8B in net income. Context matters: the timing relative to fundamentals and whether subsequent price action validates or contradicts this director's exit requires ongoing monitoring.
