Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) has recently been caught in a brutal sell-off, with shares tumbling more than 20% as investors fled anything tied to the artificial intelligence (AI) trade. Even after that pullback, the stock remains up more than 170% year to date, leaving it more exposed than most as concerns grew that the AI-driven storage boom could be wobbling.
Seagate's Q4 fiscal year 2026 earnings report, however, offered a resounding answer to the doubters. Not only did the company comfortably beat expectations for the latest quarter, but its guidance for the period ahead blew straight past what Wall Street was looking for, reinforcing the idea that the storage boom and Seagate’s rally still have plenty of room to run.
