Seagate Technology shares are under pressure as investors reassess the outlook for high-capacity hard drives and AI infrastructure demand, sparking a sharp move in the stock. The latest volatility comes despite earlier optimism around a potential structural shortage in these drives through 2028, which had supported a more bullish narrative.
Previously, Morgan Stanley had turned notably positive on Seagate, naming it a Top Pick and sharply lifting its price target to $582. That call was driven by confidence in Seagate’s HAMR-based Mozaic 4 platform ramping up successfully and expectations of sustained demand from AI-driven data center expansion.
