These excerpts taken from the WDC 10-K filed Aug 20, 2008.
The market price of our common stock is volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, extremely volatile. Factors such as the following may significantly affect the market price of our common stock:
 
  •  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 
  •  announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors which may decrease the volume and profitability of sales of our existing products and increase the risk of inventory obsolescence;
 
  •  new products introduced by us or our competitors;
 
  •  periods of severe pricing pressures due to oversupply or price erosion resulting from competitive pressures or industry consolidation;
 
  •  developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights;
 
  •  conditions and trends in the hard drive, computer, data and content management, storage and communication industries;
 
  •  growth rates that are lower than our previous high growth-rate periods;
 
  •  changes in financial estimates by securities analysts relating specifically to us or the hard drive industry in general; and
 
  •  macroeconomic conditions that affect the market generally.
 
In addition, general economic conditions may cause the stock market to experience extreme price and volume fluctuations from time to time that particularly affect the stock prices of many high technology companies. These fluctuations often appear to be unrelated to the operating performance of the companies.
 
Securities class action lawsuits are often brought against companies after periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. A number of such suits have been filed against us in the past, and should any new lawsuits be filed, such matters could result in substantial costs and a diversion of resources and management’s attention.
