Memory Stocks Advance as Analysts Highlight Attractive Entry PointJuly 6, 2026 7:38 AM
IH Market News AI Demand and Pricing Outlook Lift Sector Sentiment Memory and storage stocks moved higher in premarket trading on Monday after several analysts pointed to improving pricing trends and continued artificial intelligence demand as reasons for renewed optimism across the sector. Micron (NASDAQ:MU) rose 2.2%, SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) gained 3.6%, Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) advanced 3.4%, and Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) added 1.8% before the opening bell. UBS Sees Tight Memory Supply Through 2028 UBS analyst Nicolas Gaudois increased his baseline forecast for DDR contract pricing, now expecting prices to rise 32% quarter over quarter in the third quarter of 2026, up from his previous estimate of 17%. His fourth-quarter forecast was also lifted to 18% from 12%. Gaudois believes the DRAM market will remain undersupplied “until at least 2Q28,” arguing that projected bit demand growth of 36.2% in 2027 significantly exceeds expected supply growth of 19.3%, leaving “too wide to close by then.” UBS now projects global memory industry revenue to reach $992 billion in 2026 before climbing to $1.76 trillion in 2027. The brokerage also described the recent decline in memory shares, which have fallen by an average of 17% from their June highs, as “likely temporary.” Citi Turns More Positive on Micron Citi added Micron to its 90-day upside catalyst watch list while increasing its average selling price growth forecasts for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2026 to 44%, 20% and 13% quarter over quarter, respectively. The brokerage cited strengthening demand for AI processors as a key driver behind the more optimistic outlook. Bank of America Sees Long-Term AI Opportunity Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya reiterated his Buy rating on Micron and maintained a price target of $1,550. Arya argued that “memory now represents roughly 35-40% of cloud AI capex, 2-3x vs. historical levels, yet memory stocks trade at sub-par 10x forward PE.” He also forecasts global spending on cloud computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure to approach $1.5 trillion by 2027, describing the recent weakness across semiconductor stocks as “a healthy reset, not a structural change in AI demand.” Micron Technology stock price SanDisk stock price Western Digital stock price Seagate stock priceThe post Memory Stocks Advance as Analysts Highlight Attractive Entry Point appeared first on US Editors.

On September 8, 2026 (the “redemption date”), all then-outstanding notes that are called for redemption and have not been submitted for exchange will be redeemed for cash at a price (the “redemption price”) equal to the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such notes to, but excluding, the redemption date. On the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed and interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date (unless Seagate HDD fails to pay the redemption price due on the redemption date in full, in which case interest thereon will continue to accrue until such time as Seagate HDD pays such redemption price in full).

The principal amount of any notes submitted for exchange shall be paid in cash, and Seagate HDD has elected to settle the remainder of its exchange obligations in excess of the principal amount for notes exchanged after today and through the exchange deadline by delivering ordinary shares, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional ordinary shares. The notes called for redemption must be delivered to the paying agent (in the case of physical notes) or in compliance with the rules and procedures of DTC (in the case of global notes) to receive the redemption price.

Micron Shares Rise on Optimism Around AI-Driven Memory DemandApril 29, 2026 6:51 AM
IH Market News
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) shares gained 4.26% on Wednesday after upbeat forecasts from Seagate Technology (NASDAQ:STX) pointed to continued strong enterprise spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure. The update lifted sentiment across the data storage and memory sector in premarket trading.The move followed Seagate’s results, which underscored solid demand for storage and memory products linked to AI deployment. Morgan Stanley described Seagate as “truly firing on all cylinders” and reiterated its position as the firm’s top sector pick.DA Davidson initiated coverage on Micron on Tuesday, stating: “We believe artificial intelligence is creating a longer-than-usual memory cycle as compute deployment and demand generation exist in a positive feedback loop, creating a structurally higher ceiling for memory pricing and demand. The market is still framing the cycle through the lens of prior downturns, which appears to underestimate the demand environment, especially relative to the rest of the semi complex. Combined with Micron’s node leadership and what we see as a long duration earnings power story, we see meaningful upside to shares.”The constructive outlook for memory demand is being driven by ongoing investments in AI infrastructure, which require substantial data storage capacity. Seagate’s projections suggest enterprise customers continue to allocate significant budgets toward storage solutions to support AI workloads.As a leading producer of DRAM and NAND flash memory, Micron is well positioned to benefit from this extended demand cycle. Its advanced manufacturing capabilities and technology leadership are expected to support market share gains as the semiconductor industry expands.Micron Technology stock priceSeagate stock price

Seagate has issued a Supplemental Financial Information document, which is available on Seagate’s Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com.


Quarterly Cash Dividend


The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.74 per share, which will be payable on July 7, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 24, 2026. The payment of any future quarterly dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent upon Seagate’s financial position, results of operations, available cash, cash flow, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.


Business Outlook


The business outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter 2026 is based on our current assumptions and expectations; actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, the important factors discussed in the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section of this release.


The Company is providing the following guidance for its fiscal fourth quarter 2026:



Revenue of $3.45 billion, plus or minus $100 million



Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $5.00, plus or minus $0.20



Our fiscal fourth quarter guidance includes:



The estimated net dilutive impact from the Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028; and



Minimal expected impact from global tariff policies and/or the current conflict in the Middle East as of the date of this release.



Guidance regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known pre-tax charges related to estimated share-based compensation expenses of $0.23 per share.


We have not reconciled our non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal fourth quarter 2026 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, other than estimated share-based compensation expenses, because material items that may impact these measures are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, including, but not limited to, net (gain) loss from debt transactions, strategic investment losses (gains) or impairment charges, income tax adjustments on these measures, and other charges or benefits that may arise. The amounts of these measures are not currently available but may be material to future results. A reconciliation of our historical non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalent is contained in this release.


Investor Communications


Seagate management will hold a public webcast at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET on April 28, 2026 that can be accessed on its Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com.


An archived audio webcast of this event will be available on Seagate’s Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com shortly following the event conclusion.

Use of non-GAAP financial information


The Company uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, operating margin, net income, diluted EPS, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and last twelve months adjusted EBITDA, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain benefits, expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate the business and provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes non-GAAP results provide useful information to investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain benefits, expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not part of the Company's ongoing operations and not indicative of its core operating results.


These non-GAAP financial measures are some of the measurements management uses to assess the Company’s performance, allocate resources and plan for future periods. Reported non-GAAP results should only be considered as supplemental to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and not considered as a substitute or replacement for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures reported by other companies in its industry.

1 The Company recorded $20 million of restructuring charges in the three months ended March 28, 2025, of which $10 million was recorded to Cost of revenue and $10 million was recorded to Restructuring and other, net, within Operating expenses.

2 For the three and nine months ended April 3, 2026, and the three and nine months ended March 28, 2025, using the if-converted method, approximately 4 million, 7 million, 2 million and 4 million shares, respectively, are issuable upon conversion of our 2028 exchangeable senior notes. These dilutive effects are expected to be offset partially by the capped call transactions and are excluded from non-GAAP shares used in diluted net income per share calculation.


The Company’s Non-GAAP measures are adjusted for the following items:


Acquisition-related charges

Acquisition-related charges are primarily related to transaction and integration costs. These expenses are excluded in the non-GAAP measures due to the inconsistency in amount and frequency, and they are not normal operating expenses or indicative of the Company's operating performance. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance to investors to enable them to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.


Amortization of acquired intangible assets

The Company records expense from amortization of intangible assets that were acquired in connection with its business combinations over their estimated useful lives. Such charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of the Company’s acquisitions. Consequently, the Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.


Legal settlement

From time to time, the Company incurs charges related to the settlement of litigation matters. These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP measures to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.


Net gain/loss from business divestiture

From time to time, the Company records net gains or losses from the sale of businesses. These net gains are excluded in the non-GAAP measures because they are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. The Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.


Net gain/loss from debt transactions

From time to time, the Company incurs gains, losses and fees from the early redemption and repurchase of certain long-term debt instruments. The amount of these charges may be inconsistent in size and varies depending on the timing of the early redemption of debt. The Company does not believe these are part of its normal operating performance. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance to investors to enable them to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.


Purchase order cancellation fees

Purchase order cancellation fees are the costs incurred to cancel certain purchase commitments made with the Company's suppliers for component and equipment purchases that will not be received due to change in forecasted demand. These charges and subsequent credits received are inconsistent in amount and frequency. The Company does not believe these are part of its normal operating expenses. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.


Restructuring and other, net

Restructuring and other, net are costs associated with restructuring plans that are primarily related to costs associated with reduction in the Company’s workforce, exiting certain facilities, inventory write down related to discontinued product lines and other related costs, as well as charges or gains from sale of properties. These costs or benefits do not reflect the Company’s normal or ongoing operating performance and consequently the Company excludes these expenses to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.


Share-based compensation

These expenses consist primarily of expenses for employee share-based compensation. Given the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining share-based compensation expense, the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations, and the volatility in valuations that can be driven by market conditions outside the Company’s control, the Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense enhances the ability of management and investors to understand and assess the underlying performance of its business over time and compare it against the Company’s peers, a majority of whom also exclude share-based compensation expense from their non-GAAP results.


Strategic investment gains, losses and impairment charges

From time to time, the Company incurs gains, losses or impairment charges from strategic investments that are measured and accounted at fair value, under the equity method of accounting, as available-for-sale debt securities or adjust for downward or upward adjustments to the carrying value under the measurement alternative if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period that are not considered normal operating expenses or gains. The resulting expense, gain or impairment loss is inconsistent in amount and frequency, and the Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.


Other charges

The other charges primarily include IT transformation costs. These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are excluded to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to past periods’ operating performance.


Income tax adjustments

Seagate utilizes a projected annual non-GAAP income tax rate to determine its non-GAAP income taxes. The annual non-GAAP tax rate is based on considerations such as its current tax structure, projected tax positions and impacts from key legislation implemented in various jurisdictions but excludes the tax effects of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments and other significant non-recurring income tax items. The Company believes applying the non-GAAP tax rate provides consistency across the interim reporting periods and reduces the effects of items not directly related to its operating structure that can vary in size and frequency. The non-GAAP income tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including significant changes in tax laws. The Company will re-evaluate periodically its non-GAAP tax rate and may adjust as appropriate. For fiscal year 2026, the Company uses a projected non-GAAP income tax rate of 15.5%.

Using the if-converted method, diluted net income per share is calculated assuming that the excess value above the principal of the 2028 exchangeable notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. Non-GAAP shares used in diluted net income per share calculation excluded certain dilutive shares, which are expected to be offset partially by the capped call transactions entered by the Company in conjunction with our 2028 exchangeable senior notes in order to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s ordinary shares upon the conversion.


Free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities less acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements. Free cash flow does not reflect non-cash items, net cash used or provided by financing activities and net cash used or provided by investing activities, other than acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements. This non-GAAP financial measure is used by management to assess the Company's sources of liquidity, capital structure and operating performance.


EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and last twelve months (LTM) adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as net income before income tax expense, interest expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. These adjustments primarily include impairment and other charges related to cost saving efforts, net loss (gain) from debt transactions, net loss (gain) from business divestiture, purchase order cancellation fees, restructuring and other, net, share-based compensation, strategic investment losses or impairment charges, other extraordinary charges such as factory underutilization charges. LTM adjusted EBITDA is defined as the total of last twelve months adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate the Company’s debt portfolio and structure to comply with its financial debt covenants.
