If the stock goes up today, this is another confirmation of a reversal candle stick ( immediately after the previous one, green candle was 40% higher of previous red candle body ).
On top of it, it has not broken multiple times through the resistance level of $83,90.

Be ready to buy, next days will be bullish, so for very short term for sure!

[tasari]

I have no clue what happened the 24 august, I was trying to find some news.. nothing !

The good thing it formed a bull flag the days before and it stayed in the flag, above $89,53 could give the start up to $94,45, after to previous high ?

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. Average capacity per drive was 8.2 terabytes, down from 9.2 terabytes one quarter earlier. Free cash flow fell to $186 million, from $274 million in the June quarter and $309 million a year ago. Meanwhile, days inventory outstanding jumped to 70, from 56, while days payables outstanding stretched to 95, from 89.

For the December quarter, Seagate sees revenue of $2.55 billion, give or take $200 million, with non-GAAP profits of $1.10 a share, plus or minus 15 cents. Street consensus has been $2.48 billion and $1.08 a share.

“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

The thing about STX is you have a foreign tax on the dividend.

and its a 25% tax.


Basically on 1000 shares - you get your div of $650 bucks but then at the same time you have $162.50 removed from your account for 'Foreign tax paid'.

So your 650.00 quarterly income just dropped to $487.50

or a .4875 div (after foreign tax automatically withdrawn at the same time your account receives the dividend)

So.... technically that means YOU aren't really getting an annual dividend of 2.60 (unless you don't pay a foreign tax)

Once the tax is paid you are actually getting 1.95 or 4.3% annual returns based on todays PPS

Right?

But STX has a good chance of a PPS rise and there is that.

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.

Seagate Technology $STX Chart Breaks, Nasty Collapse Underway

Shares of Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) fell sharply lower on Thursday, falling over 7% to $51.00. This collapse is major and investors should be worried. The stock chart not only broke below the daily 200 moving average, but breached an epic trend line of support. The break of both these levels will likely spell significant downside for Seagate Tech in the coming months. A drop to $43.00 looks likely.

Here come the $55s again.

[mdb1]

I thought it would DROP to $56s or even $55s today. NOPE, STX goes UP. What??????

[mdb1]

Friday: Why the huge selloff today? from $59s to 55s(?)?

[mdb1]

amazing!::beat on profit ($1.46 vs $1.30) and revenue ($2.8 Billion vs $2.75 B) and stock CRASHES over 15% to $49s. What??? What is the logic in that?

[Stocker1]

Hit 52 week high. Still nearly 40 million short.

[fishhunter]

Seagate is NOW TODAY the best bitcoin play EVER!!!!
They (Seagate) owns an asset that is worth almost 70% of their market cap.
Market is valuing Seagate operations at near 0.
This is just like the Veritas days when Seagates ownership in that was greater than the Seagate market cap!....believe it or not.

[Stocker1]

Yep, looks to break 50 and 200MA that should push some triggers

[north40000]

Better look at your chart...I see STX trading PM close to $40.

[Stocker1]

Beat estimates. Looking better

[spottrader]

Big hit coming Monday. See ya in the $20s

[Stocker1]

Poised to break out. Good earnings we go to 50


My opinion

[Stocker1]

And if Bain gets chip factory their partnership may give Seagate the boost it needs in SSD

[Stocker1]

This one on watch. First I think the big drop from 50 was way oversold, they barely missed revenue. Second, 45 million shares short. If it can break 34 I think there is serious upside. Third, healthy dividend, as the market kinda goes sideways people may look more closely at safe stocks with decent dividends to park it for a while

Just my two cents

[JWard99]

Great partnership announcement with Baidu. Going back to $50. Book it, PE of 12 is so low for high quality tech company paying fat dividend.

[Starving]

This stock is over bought today. I sold at the 33.25 today. This thing is going to tank Monday on some Down grades!!!

[MorningLightMountain]

maybe WDC should just buy STX.....yeah, yeah, we shall see...

[north40000]

STX just as strange 3 months later. ~ $8 total swing from close 7/24--> open 7/25.

[ClarkKant]

$STX one of the strangest trading stocks I've seen in a long time.

50k bids, but then moves down -$.20 on a 500 share sell. It has done this more than a few times.

[ClarkKant]

Ate up call options @ $41.90 on the overreaction.

[Bentov]

I've been waiting for an entry point...

[Mokyo Toe]

This freakin' thing has been unstoppable for nine months now. I have to wonder if we are finally approaching the summit. I wouldn't sell, but a pullback has to be in the cards... My best pick of 2016.

Just a question. Do you know why STX didn't pay a dividend in late August. It is paying one in early Oct. did I miss something?

Coming quarter earnings expected to be good with a projected PPS of $45.00
