Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) Presents at Bernstein Insights: What's next in tech? - 4th Annual Tech, Media, Telecom Forum Transcript
Seagate has transitioned from a cyclical PC stock to a structurally scarce asset, underpinned by AI-driven data center storage demand. STX's nearline capacity is fully committed through 2026, with multi-year contracts extending into 2027–2028, providing strong revenue visibility and pricing power. Technological advances like HAMR/Mozaic are driving higher-capacity drives, margin expansion, and a permanent shift in product mix and earnings growth.
Seagate has been re-rated in the last 6 months as an AI data center infrastructure bet in the HDD memory space. Perception changed, but revenue growth is still far from Micron and SanDisk, as HDD is seeing fewer price hikes than SSDs or DRAM/HBM chips. That said, STX delivered its highest free cash flow in eight years and guided above consensus, with 87% of exabyte shipments now data center-driven.
