On July 10, Seagate Technology rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $918.15/share, with turnover of $933 million. The rally was primarily driven by Wells Fargo upgrading the stock from Equal Weight to Overweight while raising its target price from $900 to $1,100. FactSet data shows the current analyst consensus target price stands at $988.55.
Earlier in the session, the storage sector came under pressure as SK Hynix ADR debuted on Nasdaq with a $26.5 billion offering — the largest-ever US listing by a foreign company — sparking concerns over capital diversion from existing memory stocks. However, the sector quickly reversed losses, with Seagate leading the recovery, followed by Western Digital and SanDisk. The upgrade adds to a string of bullish institutional calls, with Goldman Sachs previously raising its target to $960 and Susquehanna adjusting to $775, providing continued support following the sector's sharp correction that saw four major storage names shed approximately $340 billion in market cap over two sessions.
