On August 12, Seagate Technology PLC rose 3.03% in pre-market trading, trading at $845.99/share, with turnover of $8.0875 million. The stock continues to recover from a nearly 10% single-day decline triggered by a Bernstein report indicating that DRAM and NAND contract price growth narrowed in the third quarter.
The ongoing rebound is supported by multiple institutional price target upgrades significantly above the current share price. BNP Paribas maintained its Outperform rating and raised its target price from $1,050 to $1,275, implying approximately 58% upside. Barclays lifted its target to $1,250, while the analyst consensus mean target stands at approximately $1,148. These bullish outlooks reflect strong confidence in AI-driven data storage demand, with AI growth outpacing Seagate's 25% annual EB shipment growth target, positioning the company for favorable pricing across nearline and non-nearline products.
Fundamentally, the company reported EPS of $5.48 in its most recent earnings release on July 28, demonstrating solid operational performance.
