Well. Let's see. Book value is 47 million, or about $.50 per share...

Write-offs of fixed assets and employee severance and relocation costs relating to these changes will result in a charge of approximately $45 million to Western Digital's results for the third fiscal quarter ending March 27, 1999.

Uh, never mind.

Retained earnings is -79 million. Think about this for a second. In the entire history of the company, it's a loser. And I'm not just talking about earnings.

>I think I can speak objectively since I am short WDC, but it seems to me that the results are certainly no worse than neutral for the stock price - unless the street was expecting a lot better.

As I'm also short, and also objective (hehe), I say the stock loses 3 points at least tomorrow.
