We cannot judge Western Digital Corp. yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

Western Digital Corp. (WDC) has a Lemma Quality Score of 6.6 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as solid quality. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Ranked with the 260 Technology companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 70th percentile, in the better half of its peers. The median across the group is 5.9, and the top quarter begins at 6.7, so Western Digital Corp. is above the typical company here.
Profitability scores 9.3 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 256 Technology companies is 4.6, so Western Digital Corp. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 98th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
Solvency scores 8.7 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 194 Technology companies is 8.0, so Western Digital Corp. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 63rd percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.
Western Digital Corp.’s growth score is 6.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.4 among 207 Technology companies, that is in line with the group and the 54th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Efficiency scores 5.3 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 240 Technology companies is 7.1, so Western Digital Corp. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 20th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 2.0 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 258 Technology companies is 4.7, so Western Digital Corp. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 10th percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.
This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 9.3 but predictability only 2.0, a gap of 7.3 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is predictability. If it rose to the median of Technology companies, 4.7, Western Digital Corp.’s overall score would go from 6.6 to about 7.1. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
These are the Technology companies closest to Western Digital Corp. in market value. Each has its own page scored on the same five pillars, so the comparison is like for like.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
