The chip sector has seen a downturn, with Seagate Technology losing 25% of its value from YTD peaks, presenting a buying opportunity for value investors. Seagate's primary focus on HDDs positions it better amidst the current market turmoil affecting NAND flash memory prices and consumer demand. Over 90% of Seagate's revenue comes from HDDs, versus just over ~50% for peer Western Digital. HDDs have seen rising ASPs, while NAND flash is starting to soften.
