What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Seagate faces near-term pressure as an AI efficiency breakthrough spooks the storage sector, though the company argues its enterprise HDD business remains insulated by data retention needs and long-term Build-to-Order contracts. Q4 results were strong—revenue of $3.63B, non-GAAP EPS of $5.71, and 52.7% gross margin—with 2027 guidance and HAMR deployment underpinning a durable demand trajectory despite the AI-driven pullback.
