Seagate Technology Holdings (STX) Could Be 48% Undervalued Following First Quarter Results

Simply Wall St · 21h ago

Seagate Technology Holdings (STX) just posted first quarter results, putting fresh numbers on the table for anyone tracking the stock after a sharp recent pullback.

The share price reaction has been harsh in the short term, with a 30-day share price return of down 28.6% and a 90-day move of down 27.6% as Seagate Technology was swept up in the wider chip selloff sparked by Intel and concerns around AI hardware spending. Earnings strength, debt reduction and a higher dividend have not stopped near term selling. However, the total shareholder return of 143.6% over one year and a very large gain over five years show that longer term holders have still seen strong compounding from this stock.

Capture the reset in Seagate Technology Holdings and the wider chip pullback by scanning a hand picked group of 53 AI infrastructure stocks tied to data center and AI hardware demand.

For Seagate Technology Holdings, that disconnect is stark. Earnings, cash generation and dividends are moving in one direction, while the share price has sharply reset in the other. How does that tension show up in today’s valuation?

Most Popular Narrative: 48% Undervalued

Against a last close of $606.38, the most followed narrative on Seagate Technology Holdings pegs fair value at $1,158.73, which points to a wide gap that current sellers are accepting after the recent drawdown.

Engine one is the industry. Supply is short, pricing is rising, and Seagate captures it. Every incremental dollar of nearline price requires no additional cost and flows almost directly to the bottom line. This engine is cyclical and I do not control it.

Engine two is areal density, and it belongs to Seagate alone. HAMR increases the number of terabytes on each platter. More capacity per drive means fewer drives, fewer heads, fewer platters and less assembly labour per exabyte shipped.

See why 58 investors see Seagate Technology Holdings as 48% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of $1,158.73 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the narrative can crack if Western Digital closes the HAMR gap faster than expected, or if Seagate Technology Holdings relaxes capacity discipline and commits to multi year pricing.
