Description: STX Seagate Technology January 29, 2026
Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX) designs, manufactures, and sells data-storage hardware and infrastructure solutions from its headquarters in Singapore. Its portfolio spans enterprise-class near-line HDDs and SSDs, legacy Mission-Critical drives, consumer external storage (Seagate Ultra, One Touch, Expansion, Basics) and LaCie products, plus the Lyve edge-to-cloud platform that bundles modular hardware with software for on-premise and cloud storage deployments.
In the most recent fiscal year (FY 2024), Seagate reported revenue of **$12.2 billion**, a modest **4 % year-over-year increase**, driven primarily by a **18 % rise in SSD sales** while HDD shipments fell **≈40 %** as customers shift toward solid-state solutions. The company posted an operating margin of **7.5 %** and generated **$1.9 billion** of free cash flow, supporting its ongoing investment in higher-density NAND and AI-optimized storage technologies.
Key macro- and sector-level drivers include: (1) the rapid expansion of generative-AI and large-model training workloads, which are projected to boost global demand for high-capacity, low-latency storage by **~12 % CAGR through 2029**; (2) cloud service providers accelerating edge-to-cloud architectures, a trend that directly underpins Seagate’s Lyve platform; and (3) a tightening supply chain for NAND flash, creating pricing power for manufacturers that can secure advanced process nodes.
For a deeper, data-rich assessment of how these dynamics translate into valuation risk and upside, a quick look at ValueRay’s analytical dashboard can be a useful next step.
