Seagate Technology shares are falling sharply in late trading Thursday following the disk-drive maker’s September quarter earnings report. as the company continues to see lingering impact on its business from the pandemic-related economic slowdown.
For the fiscal first quarter, Seagate (ticker: STX) posted revenue of $2.31 billion, down 10.2% from a year ago, and slightly below the Street consensus at $2.34 billion. The company had projected revenue of $2.3 billion, give or take $200 million. Non-GAAP profits were 93 cents a share, down from $1.03 a year ago, but above the company’s forecast of 85 cents a share, plus or minus 15 cents. It beat the Wall Street consensus for 88 cents.
The company also said its board approved a $3 billion increase in its share repurchase authorization, boosting the total to $4.2 billion. And Seagate increased its dividend by 3%, or 2 cents, to 67 cents quarterly.
Seagate said in a presentation created for this afternoon’s earnings call that Covid-related costs “remain a margin headwind,” though slightly better than originally expected. Non-GAAP gross margin was 26.5%, down from 27.3% in the June quarter and 26.7% a year ago.
Total drive capacity shipped in the quarter was 114.4 exabytes, down from 117 exabytes in the June quarter and 120 exabytes in the March quarter.

“Seagate delivered solid September quarter results supported by strong recovery in the video and image applications market and healthy cloud data center demand, which drove double digit year-over-year revenue growth for our mass capacity storage solutions,” CEO Dave Mosley said in a statement. “We see indications for Enterprise demand to improve and we expect this to continue as the broader markets gradually recover, supporting our positive December quarter outlook and reinforcing our revenue expectations for the fiscal year.”
Seagate was off 2.9%, to $50.30 in premarket trading. Shares of disk-drive rival Western Digital (WDC) are off 1.7%, to $42.21

Seagate Tech $STX Drops After Downgrade, Watch This Trade Level
This morning, leading tech stock, Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ:STX), is declining sharply lower after being downgraded. The stock is falling by 9.66 percent to 48.39 a share. Traders should note that STX stock is now trading below its 50 and 200-day moving averages. This formation puts the stock in a weak technical position on the charts. Traders must now look lower for solid support. One area that looks to be a strong potential trade level is around the $43.00 range. This area is where there is a major weekly chart gap fill from early January. Often, the institutional traders will defend a major gap area when filled and tested.
