From Nasdaq: 2024-06-17 08:16:00

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) has seen a 21.6% year-to-date gain, outperforming the S&P 500 composite and its sub-industry. With a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a Growth Score of A, STX is a solid investment option. Analysts are optimistic, with EPS estimates for fiscal 2024 and 2025 showing significant growth.

Seagate’s performance is buoyed by strong mass capacity demand, especially in nearline cloud products. Revenues have increased, driven by higher sales in cloud and enterprise markets. The company’s outlook remains positive with expectations of growth in mass capacity storage solutions.

STX expects increased demand for mass capacity in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, with projections for revenue and earnings growth. Concerns include weak global economic conditions, notably in China, and a leveraged balance sheet. Other top-ranked stocks worth considering include Alphabet (GOOGL), Arista Networks (ANET), and Woodward Inc (WWD).
