Movement Alert｜Seagate Technology PLC Falls 4.32% in Regular Trading, Strong Results Failed to Offset Elevated Expectations

Market Focus10-28 21:35

On October 28, Seagate Technology PLC fell 4.32% in Regular Trading, trading at $634.995/share, with turnover of $6.98 billion.

The move followed a fiscal first-quarter report that beat forecasts on both revenue and adjusted earnings, but the stock remained under pressure as recent analyst target-price cuts and commentary pointed to elevated market expectations despite strong second-quarter guidance.

For the quarter ended October 2, revenue rose 61% year over year to $4.23 billion and adjusted EPS reached $7.68, both above consensus. The company guided fiscal second-quarter adjusted EPS to $9.00-$9.40 on revenue of $4.7-$4.9 billion, also ahead of expectations, and raised its quarterly dividend to $0.76. At the same time, several firms trimmed price targets after the release, while market commentary highlighted concern that investor expectations had already moved higher into the print.
