Total asset turnover = Revenue (ttm) ÷ Total assets
= $13,090,000K ÷ $24,188,000K
= 0.54

The total asset turnover ratio for Western Digital Corporation has fluctuated over the past several quarters. The ratio has generally been declining from 0.58 in December 2019 to 0.54 in June 2024. This downward trend suggests that the company is generating less revenue for each dollar of assets it holds.

A total asset turnover ratio below 1 indicates that the company is not generating enough revenue from its assets. The decreasing trend observed in the ratio may indicate inefficiencies in asset utilization or a decrease in sales relative to the company's asset base.

It is important for Western Digital Corporation to closely monitor and improve its asset turnover ratio to ensure optimal utilization of assets and to boost revenue generation. Efforts to increase sales or optimize asset efficiency could potentially help improve the ratio in the future.
