Seagate Technology (STX-Q) has garnered mixed reviews from experts following recent fluctuations in the memory storage market. While some analysts criticize the company's high price-to-earnings (PE) ratio at 50x for 2027, others highlight a significant surge in share value, with a noteworthy increase of 25% this year alone. The demand for data storage solutions is reportedly outpacing supply, leading to concerns that Seagate cannot produce disk drives quickly enough, which might pose a risk to future growth. However, the company exhibits strong pricing power amid a storage shortage, with some experts expressing optimism ahead of its earnings report. As stakeholders await performance updates, the sentiment is cautiously optimistic despite high valuations.

DON'T BUY

Too pricey at 50x 2027's PE.

BUY

They can't make their disc drives--used in data centres--fast enough. Shares surged 11%. This is a horse.

BUY

They have absurd pricing power given the strong demand for memory storage. Shares jumped 19% today. It takes four years to build a new factory so the storage shortage should continue.

BUY

It reports Tuesday. No one saw the massive surge in memory stocks. STX is up 25% this year already, so it needs to deliver a massive beat and raise to keep the rally going. He thinks they can do it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Sells at 20x PE, up 63% this year and one of the top S&P performers, but the PE and stock are too high.

DON'T BUY

The stock has never done and has always been cheap. It's a value trap.

BUY

A buy off of Dell's strong earnings report.

BUY

Seagate just reported a great quarter.

BUY

Just bought this for the first time. AI is driving a new refresh cycle in PCs. Also, we haven't upgraded PCs in 4-5 years. Dell just said their PC business was up 3% instead of the expected -2%. HPQ will see growth in the second half of this year, for the first time in 2 years. Also, AMD said last Sunday that their AI PC chips are 5x the speed of existing chips. Seagate leads this sector. Gross margins are poised to go higher. Margins could expand 1,000 basis points year over year. They have pricing power and volumes are rising. She might be early on it, but that's fine.

BUY

Memory chips are bottoming now and management just stood behind its 4.8% dividend yield.

BUY

It has bottomed. It pays a 5.4% dividend yield and trades at 11x in a business that has insatiable demand for hard-drive storage.

DON'T BUY

Missed earnings and was downgraded today. Much prefers Taiwan Semi and Samsung which are behemoths compared to Seagate.
