Market Focus08-05 00:05

On August 5, NetApp rose 5.14% in regular trading, trading at $192.4/share, with turnover of $149 million. The move was driven by broad-based strength across the storage sector combined with a wave of institutional target price increases.

The storage sector exhibited clear linkage effects, with SanDisk surging 10.02%, Dell Technologies climbing 8.57%, Western Digital gaining 3.96%, and Seagate Technology rising 3.19%. Multiple institutions have recently raised their price targets on NetApp: JPMorgan adjusted to $175 from $150 maintaining Neutral, Daiwa Securities raised to $180 from $117 maintaining Outperform, and Argus Research lifted to $200 from $130 maintaining Buy. These upgrades reflect growing market confidence in NetApp's AI storage and all-flash array business growth trajectory, following a strong fiscal Q4 that delivered adjusted EPS of $2.43 versus consensus of $2.27 and revenue of $1.95 billion versus estimates of $1.87 billion. The company also recently launched a managed cloud storage service with Oracle targeting AI and enterprise workloads.
