Seagate Technology Hits Record High as Storage Demand Fuels 25% Revenue Growth

Seagate Technology (STX) surged to an all-time high of $554.21, capping a 639.49% annual return as data storage demand drives revenue growth. The $123.3 billion market cap reflects institutional confidence, with BofA projecting Q3 FY2026 revenue of $3.02B—outpacing consensus estimates.

Diverging analyst views emerge: Morgan Stanley and Cantor Fitzgerald maintain Overweight ratings with targets reaching $650, while UBS adopts caution with a $515 neutral target. The Lyve Cloud divestiture to Wasabi Technologies signals strategic refinement.

‘When storage demand accelerates, so do margins’—a sector adage proving true as Seagate’s 25% revenue growth over twelve months outpaces hardware industry averages. The stock now trades at 42x forward earnings, prompting InvestingPro to flag valuation concerns.
