Seagate (STX) Offering Possible 28.53% Return Over the Next 9 Calendar Days

Seagate's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Seagate is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $91.00 short call and a strike $96.00 long call offers a potential 28.53% return on risk over the next 9 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $91.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.11 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $3.89 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $96.00 long call strike price.

The 5-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the short-term momentum for Seagate is bearish and the probability of a decline in share price is higher if the stock starts trending.

The 20-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the medium-term momentum for Seagate is bearish.

The RSI indicator is at 63.77 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.

Andrew Bary's “How the Green Economy Will Be a Gold Mine for Copper” makes a case that the push toward renewable energy will boost demand for copper, which in turn will push up prices in an already tight market. See why Barron's believes that electric vehicles alone will be a bonanza for miners such as Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE: FCX). In “Seagate Remakes Itself for the Cloud,” Eric J. Savitz discusses how, for 40 years, hard-drive maker Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ: STX) has faced doubt from investors. Discover why, thanks to the cloud, the data storage company is once again defying the skeptics, as new enterprise applications are powering a hard-drive renaissance.

Is The Seagate Technology Rally On Its Last Legs?
Tue, 04 May 2021 14:37:59 +0000
Seagate Technology (STX) is still going strong. Its shares saw a sharp boost on the heels of its strong quarterly earnings release on April 22, with it up 9% since then. This provider of electronic data storage technology and solutions has many factors working in its favor. Demand remains strong for data storage, earnings results have beaten estimates, and guidance remains in line with analyst expectations. That being said, with prices around $90 per share, Seagate may be topping out, at least in the near-term. Its valuation looks reasonable on an absolute basis. Yet, given the cyclical nature of the industry, combined with the company’s slower-than-average top-line growth, its current forward P/E ratio may fully reflect its underlying value. Shares will likely hold on to the lion’s share of their recent gains, but the stock is unlikely to break into triple-digit price levels anytime soon. Seagate Technology And Recent Results For the fiscal quarter ending Apr 2, 2021, Seagate delivered results that were ahead of expectations. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.48, above the sell-side consensus estimate of $1.30. Revenue for the quarter also came in above projections, albeit only slightly. This news has helped to give STX a continued boost, although when the numbers initially hit the Street, the markets had a mixed reaction. The quarterly results were positive, but investors were cautious due to the company’s lukewarm guidance for the upcoming quarter. Projected sales for the next quarter are now around $2.85 billion. This is in line with analyst estimates of around $2.86 billion in revenue for the quarter ending July 2, 2021. Earnings projections for Seagate’s fiscal 4Q, at $1.45-$1.75, are also in line with analyst numbers, which are at $1.55. This may be sufficient to sustain the stock at around $90 per share. But this, coupled with other factors, may signal that the stock is about to cool off. (See Seagate Technology stock analysis on TipRanks) Short-Term Gains Could Be Limited Demand is strong for Seagate’s data storage solutions, shares pay a relatively high dividend (forward yield of around 3%), and its valuation is more than moderate. Even so, these positives are unlikely to lead to dramatically higher prices for STX stock. While Seagate's valuation is reasonable, its current P/E multiple is in line with peers in this more cyclical segment of the overall chip space. Seagate's largest segment, HDD (hard disc drive), has not been growing in the market overall. Its other main segment, Enterprise Data Solutions, SSD, and Other, is growing, but represents only 9% of its revenues. Therefore, Seagate has minimal potential for multiple expansion. What Analysts Are Saying About STX Stock According to TipRanks’ analyst rating consensus, STX stock comes in as a Moderate Buy. Out of 18 analyst ratings, there have been 11 Buys, 6 Holds and 2 Sells published. As for price targets, the average analyst price target on STX stock today is $87.42 per share, implying around 3.52% downside potential from today’s prices. Bottom Line Investors looking for a stock to buy and hold for several years may find this interesting. For those with a shorter time horizon, the opportunity for big gains may be limited. Despite its recent strong run, don’t expect STX stock to rise much higher than today’s price levels over the next few months.
