Goldman Sachs Upgrades Seagate Technology, Raised Price Target Implies 6% Upside

  • Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari upgraded Seagate Technology Holdings PLC STX to Neutral from Sell with a price target of $98, up from $85, implying a 5.6% upside. 
  • The stock is up 85% since being added to America's Sell List in 2018, Hari said. 
  • Hari believes he underestimated the company's ability to gain share in nearline HDD, the pace at which gross margins would recover, and the expansion in STX's multiple. 
  • He added, however, that Seagate shares now trade at 11.5x expected next-12-months earnings, which is above the 3-year median multiple of 10.7x.
  • Price Action: STX shares traded lower by 2.56% at $91.72 on the last check Thursday.
