A share of WDC is currently paying $2.00/year in dividends. The per share increased interest expense, because of the higher interest rate, is roughly 28 cents/year. Even if they reduced the dividend by the amount of increased interest expense, it would not have a major effect where book value is just a couple of points below current levels.
