On August 11, Seagate Technology PLC rose 3.13% in regular trading, trading at approximately $824.78/share, with turnover of $2.029 billion.
The rebound follows a nearly 10% single-day decline earlier this month after a Bernstein report indicated that Q3 DRAM and NAND contract price growth had narrowed to approximately 20% quarter-over-quarter, significantly slower than Q2, triggering a broad storage sector selloff. Despite the pricing pressure, multiple Wall Street institutions maintain significantly higher price targets — BNP Paribas raised its target to $1,275 citing AI-driven data storage demand, Barclays set its target at $1,250, and the analyst consensus mean price target stands at approximately $1,148 — all well above the current trading level.
BNP Paribas specifically noted that AI demand growth is outpacing Seagate's 25% annual EB shipment growth target, potentially extending the industry upcycle through favorable pricing on nearline and non-nearline products. Meanwhile, insider activity showed CEO William D. Mosley and CFO Gianluca Romano executing planned share sales in recent days under pre-established trading plans.
