Western Digital Corporation (ISIN US9581021055, Nasdaq: WDC) ended the day above its prior close of USD 467.46 and held a spread of USD 21.74 between the low and high, according to MarketBeat. The move compared with a 0.3 percent decline in the S&P 500, which gave the stock a clear relative gain in the session.
