Market Focus06-25 21:31

On June 25, Seagate Technology rose 11.16% in regular trading, trading at $1100.37/share, with turnover of $363 million. The surge was primarily driven by Micron Technology's quarterly earnings significantly beating expectations, which triggered a broad rally across the storage sector.

Following Micron's strong results, storage stocks rallied collectively, with SanDisk up 16.86% and Western Digital up 10.84%. The earnings report served as a critical validation of AI infrastructure demand sustainability after the sector had experienced a sharp selloff the prior session, when the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped nearly 8% on concerns over stretched AI valuations.

Additionally, Morgan Stanley recently raised its price target for Seagate from $767 to $1,035, maintaining an Overweight rating. The firm noted HDD demand is growing 40%-50% annually while supply growth lags at 30%-35%, with shortages expected to persist through at least 2028. Morgan Stanley's base-case 2028 EPS estimate of $70.64 sits approximately 70% above consensus, with projected gross margins reaching 71.4%.
