Tech firms are investing hundreds of billions of USD into data centres and related infrastructure to train and run large language models. This surge benefits hardware suppliers like Seagate, whose hard disk drives store the vast quantities of data these models require.


Seagate projects third-quarter revenue of USD 2.90 billion, plus or minus USD 100 million. This forecast exceeds estimates of USD 2.77 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.


The company also expects third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of USD 3.40, plus or minus 20 cents. Analysts had anticipated a profit of USD 2.96 per share.


Seagate CEO Dave Mosley stated, "As AI applications amplify the creation and economic value of data, modern data centres increasingly need storage solutions that combine performance and cost-efficiency at exabyte-scale."


Morningstar analysts noted their expectation for the hard disk drive industry to grow at a "low-teens average rate over the next several years, as prices fall but the amount of storage shipped increases."


For the second quarter, Seagate reported revenue of USD 2.83 billion, beating estimates of USD 2.73 billion. On an adjusted basis, the company earned USD 3.11 per share, compared with estimates of a USD 2.81 per share profit.


The company’s stock was down around 1% in extended trading. The company's stock rose 6% last week in the run-up to earnings after more than tripling in 2025 due to investor optimism around AI-related infrastructure.

  • Seagate Technology expects third-quarter revenue and profit to exceed analyst estimates.

  • Strong demand for data storage devices, driven by artificial intelligence, is fuelling this positive forecast.

  • Third-quarter revenue is projected at USD 2.90 billion, with adjusted earnings per share at USD 3.40.
