Amid the global race to enhance cloud computing capabilities, Seagate Technology has emerged as a pivotal player in providing the storage solutions essential for the current tech revolution. Mizuho increased Seagate's price target to $1,090 from $875 while maintaining an Outperform rating, and Wells Fargo raised its target to $900 from $700. These upgrades are driven by observed strength in AI data center build-outs and Seagate's growing role within the AI memory and storage ecosystem.
This optimism reflects a broader recovery in the storage hardware sector, where peer Western Digital reported a 29% increase in cloud revenue in its latest quarter per its earnings filings, validating the bullish thesis for Seagate. Compared to last year, the industry is shifting from inventory gluts to supply shortages in high-capacity drives, which supports higher margins. Per market data, STX is currently trading near historic highs relative to its 52-week moving average.
