Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX)

 

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX) provides mass-data storage infrastructure solution. The Company’s principal products are hard disk drives, commonly referred to as disk drives, hard drives (HDDs). 

Recommendation Rationale – Sell at USD 109.38

  • The company is dependent on the sales to distributors and retailers, which could increase price erosion as well as the volatility of STX’s sales. Also, changes in demand for computer systems, data storage subsystems and consumer electronic devices could impact the demand for its products.
  • Also, the shortages or delays in the receipt of, or higher costs in, critical components, equipment or raw materials required to manufacture the products, as well as reliance on single-source suppliers, could affect the production and development of products.
  • The company’s share price is trading close to its R1 level recommended on August 28, 2024. Therefore, there can be a possible decline from the specified resistance levels.
