28 Jan 2026$STX takes the crown as today Bull of the Day surging 19.14% on unusually high volume of 14.57M shares, nearly 3.5x its 30-day average. The move follows Seagate blockbuster Q2 2026 earnings, where reported EPS came in at $3.11 versus analyst expectations of $2.78, signaling both strong operational execution and market demand.
Revenue gains were fueled by AI-driven storage needs and tight supply-demand dynamics, with incremental gross margins reaching 70% in December and guidance suggesting at least 44% for the next quarter. Notably, like-for-like pricing increases for Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) products and roughly 10% annual cost reductions contributed materially to margin expansion.
From a strategic perspective, Seagate calendar year 2026 exabyte capacity is already fully allocated, with backlog building for 2027 and conversations extending into 2028. This underscores the competitive edge in high-demand storage solutions and positions $STX to capitalize on ongoing enterprise and cloud storage growth. The dividend of $0.74 per share further signals strong credit quality and balance sheet stability, appealing to both growth and income investors.
Broader market implications are significant. The rally reflects robust AI-led demand in the storage sector, influencing peers and suggesting that tech infrastructure remains a priority for enterprises navigating digital transformation. Consumer behavior shows a continued reliance on data-heavy applications, cloud computing, and AI-driven services, which directly benefits Seagate nearline and HAMR product offerings.
Looking forward, investors should monitor Seagate ability to sustain these margins amid potential supply chain fluctuations and competition from peers. However, with fully booked capacity, strong pricing power, and a clear technology moat, STX appears well-positioned to maintain momentum.
