On July 15, Seagate Technology fell 3.12% in regular trading, trading at $849.21/share, with turnover of $212 million. The decline came as the broader storage sector resumed selling pressure despite a wave of bullish analyst actions.
On the news front, BNP Paribas raised its price target on Seagate from $860 to $1,050 while maintaining an outperform rating, adding to a string of recent upgrades from Citi (target raised to $1,240), Wells Fargo (upgraded to overweight, target $1,100), Goldman Sachs (target $960), and UBS (target raised from $545 to $860). However, the storage sector pulled back broadly, with SanDisk falling 5.03%, Western Digital down 3.3%, and Dell declining 3.93%.
The sector previously saw its four leading stocks lose approximately $340 billion in combined market capitalization over just two trading sessions. The current environment remains characterized by a tug-of-war between institutional bullishness and profit-taking, with rebound sustainability still limited as stocks digest prior volatile swings ahead of Seagate's upcoming earnings on July 28.
