Overall, WDC's financials do look good, but there's some questions. I do not think it is a value trap either. On the financial statement, there's a large increase in R & D spending as well as an increase in selling and administrative costs. WDC is looking into expanding its products to compete better? On the balance sheet you'll find large increases in goodwill and intangibles along with a large increase in long term debt. I didn't look into what this is about. Maybe acquisitions? On the plus side is growth in retained earnings and treasury stock, and the co. is solid on free cash. I would be interested in buying WDC but that huge gap in the chart is overwhelmingly noticeable.
