On August 7, Seagate Technology PLC rose 3.15% in pre-market trading, trading at $878.87/share, with turnover of $7.697 million.
On the news front, the storage sector continued its V-shaped rebound from the prior session's late recovery. Peer stocks SanDisk rose 5.39% and Western Digital gained 3.9% in pre-market trading, with broad sector momentum lifting Seagate. On August 6, the storage sector experienced a sharp systemic sell-off, with Seagate dropping over 8% intraday before rapidly reversing to recover losses by session end. The sell-off was attributed to profit-taking following a cumulative 20%-plus rally since July 30, compounded by the disclosure that CEO William D. Mosley reduced holdings of approximately 35,842 shares via a 10b5-1 plan at prices between $783 and $838.
Fundamental support remains intact, with Seagate's Q4 revenue of $3.629 billion representing 48% year-over-year growth, record gross margin of 52.7%, and multiple investment banks including BNP Paribas, Citi, JPMorgan, and Barclays raising target prices, with the highest at $1,275.
