Vidyadhara K Gubbi

Chief of Global Operations sells 2,475 WDC shares at $556.24 for $1.4M; price at -0.2% from 52-week high.

Vidyadhara K Gubbi sold 2,475 shares (2.8% of his pre-transaction holding) at $556.24, near the 52-week high of $564.14. His prior 5 trades at WDC have all shown positive 90-day returns, with an average of +73.2% across his cross-ticker open-market history, but a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark—meaning none of his prior WDC sales captured declines afterward; the stock rose after each sale. The $1.4M transaction size is modest relative to his 85,154 share post-transaction holding, and the stock has appreciated 30.5% in the 30 days prior and 115.5% in the 90 days prior to this sale. Fundamentally, the company reports a -26.8% annual revenue decline and a 106.05 P/E ratio, suggesting valuation multiples remain elevated despite the growth headwind.

Chief of Global Operations sells ~2 million in WDC shares near 52-week highs as stock surges.

Gubbi Vidyadhara K, Western Digital's Chief of Global Operations, sold approximately 4,674 shares worth roughly $2.07 million on the day of this filing. The stock is trading at its highest point in the past year after rallying significantly over the prior three months, suggesting this sale took place at or near peak valuation rather than during a dip. While the company remains profitable and has demonstrated exceptional quarterly earnings, the stock is trading at a stretched multiple relative to its fundamentals. An insider at this operational level selling a material stake during a strong momentum period—rather than during weakness—warrants attention, especially given the significant distance the stock has traveled in recent weeks. This move lacks the typical hallmarks of conviction-driven insider accumulation and instead appears more consistent with portfolio rebalancing or profit-taking at elevated prices.

Chief of Global Operations sold 8,518 WDC shares at $255.32 on 2026-03-06 for $2.2M; holdings reduced to 99.3K shares.

Gubbi Vidyadhara K, Chief of Global Operations, executed a $2,174,858.35 sale of 8,518 shares at $255.32, reducing his holdings by -7.9% to 99.3K shares. The timing of this sale—just two days after two other sales on 2026-03-04 (outcomes not yet measurable)—and within a period where WDC has declined -5.8% over 30 days yet risen +46.3% over 90 days, suggests this was part of a sequence of disciplined liquidations. At the same ticker, his prior three measurable sells on 2025-12-04 and 2025-12-05 each posted positive 90-day returns (ranging +53.7% to +63.4%), indicating the stock subsequently climbed after those sales—a poorly-timed pattern for a seller. Against this backdrop of sub-optimal prior timing at WDC and amid a company reporting -26.8% annual revenue growth and a high P/E of 50.14, the cluster of consecutive sell days warrants monitoring to determine whether this shift in cadence signals a directional view or logistical portfolio management.

WDC CFO Gubbi Vidyadhara K sold 10,148 shares for $2.7M on 2026-03-04; holds 107.8K post-transaction

Gubbi Vidyadhara K, Chief of Global Operations at Western Digital, executed two separate sales totaling 10,148 shares on 2026-03-04, netting $2,743,110.02 at a blended average price of $270.31 per share. His post-transaction holding of 107,794 shares represents an 8.6% reduction from the pre-transaction level of 117,942 shares. The current stock price of $259.03 sits 12.7% below the 52-week high of $296.56 and has declined 10.8% over the past 30 days, despite a 53.4% gain over the past 90 days. Notably, his four prior sales at WDC all showed positive 90-day returns (ranging from 53.7% to 72.3%), indicating those sales were poorly-timed exits from a rising stock; his same-ticker timing pattern at WDC shows 0 of 4 prior sells were well-timed. The company's annual revenue growth of −26.8% and high P/E of 48.78 frame this insider activity against a backdrop of contraction, though the latest quarter generated $3.0B in revenue and $1.8B in net income.

WDC Chief of Global Operations sells 22,820 shares ($3.7M) across 3 transactions; stock now trading near 52-week high.

Gubbi Vidyadhara K executed three separate sales totaling 22,820 shares for $3,723,222.86 between 2025-12-04 and 2025-12-05, reducing holdings by 15.2% from 149,684 to 126,864 shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $159.94 to $168.54 (blended average $163.16), while the stock currently trades at $169.78—near its 52-week high of $174.22. Western Digital's fundamentals show significant headwinds: annual revenue declined 26.8% year-over-year, despite a recent quarterly net income of $1.2B on $2.8B revenue. His prior open-market sale at this same ticker (2025-09-04) saw the stock advance 72.3% in the 90-day window afterward, indicating that sale was poorly-timed from a return perspective. The current sale's execution near the 52-week range, combined with the company's revenue contraction trajectory, merits closer examination of whether this represents discretionary conviction or scheduled activity.

Chief of Global Operations sells 11,343 WDC shares at $90.29; holds 151,596 post-sale amid 66.0% 90-day rally.

Gubbi Vidyadhara K (Chief of Global Operations) sold 11,343 shares (11.3K shares) at $90.29 on 2025-09-04, reducing holdings to 151,596 shares (151.6K shares), a -7.0% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 162,939 shares (162.9K shares). The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $92.04 (current price), with the stock having appreciated 66.0% over the prior 90 days and 24.8% over the prior 30 days. While Western Digital's latest quarterly revenue of $2,294,000,000.00 ($2.3B) and net income of $520,000,000.00 ($520.0M) are solid, the company faces a structural headwind: annual revenue growth is -26.8% year-over-year, signaling demand contraction in a cyclical storage market. The insider retained substantial holdings (151,596 shares), indicating continued exposure, but the discretionary sale during a period of strong momentum and amid negative annual growth rates is worth monitoring in context of broader industry dynamics.
