On September 11, Seagate Technology PLC fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at approximately 835.11 USD/share, with turnover of 2.98 billion USD. The decline came as the storage sector continued to face broad-based selling pressure for a second consecutive session.
On the news front, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell over 2% in the prior session, with storage names leading the decline — SK Hynix dropped 5.20%, Micron Technology fell 4.90%, Western Digital slid 4.43%, and SanDisk lost 4.06%. The sector has been giving back gains previously driven by AI computing demand. Rising oil prices coupled with sustained upward moves in U.S. Treasury yields further weighed on market risk appetite, with U.S. equities declining for a third straight trading day.
Additionally, CEO William D. Mosley has continued large-scale share disposals in recent weeks, including the sale of approximately 19,690 shares in early September at prices ranging from 804.17 to 832.07 USD, and a planned reduction of 90,000 shares filed via Form 144. Separately, the company's CFO noted at a Goldman Sachs conference that 80-90% of data center storage shipments will be sold using HAMR technology, underscoring the firm's long-term strategic positioning.
