Seagate Technology Holdings PLC (STX)

Over the past six months, Seagate's stock price has increased, outperforming the S&P500 Index. Key events impacting the stock price include strong financial performance, increased demand for high-capacity drives, advancements in HAMR Technology, analyst upgrades and positive sentiment, exchange offers and consent solicitations for senior notes, and an upcoming earnings report.

Seagate's demand for products and services can be influenced by seasonal trends. The company anticipates seasonal demand fluctuations, particularly in the March quarter, which can lead to sequential declines in revenue from legacy and VIA markets. Strong cloud demand consistently helps offset these impacts. The increasing adoption of data-intensive applications like AI, machine learning, and big data analytics is a significant driver of demand for high-capacity storage solutions. While demand remains strong, particularly from global cloud customers, supply constraints can limit revenue. Seagate sees potential for significant revenue growth for fiscal year 2025, inclusive of typical seasonal demand fluctuations.
