On July 9, Seagate Technology rose 7.45% in regular trading, trading at $919.725/share, with turnover of $334 million. The rally was driven by a broad storage sector rebound coupled with multiple institutional target price upgrades.
The storage sector staged a collective recovery following consecutive sessions of sharp declines. Peers Western Digital gained over 7%, SanDisk rose over 5%, and Micron climbed nearly 4%, with semiconductor and optical communication stocks also advancing. On the institutional front, Susquehanna recently raised its Seagate target price from $485 to $775, while Goldman Sachs previously lifted its target from $700 to $960. Bank of America had also raised its target to $1,150, and Melius Research initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $1,600 target.
The current rally represents an oversold recovery phase. The four major storage leaders had collectively lost approximately $340 billion in market capitalization over two trading days in early July, with Seagate alone falling 15.01%. Analysts have noted that the prior selloff was largely driven by profit-taking after unprecedented gains rather than fundamental deterioration.
