Seagate Stock Falls as Record-Breaking Earnings Aren’t Enough

Seagate Technology shares fell about 6% despite reporting the most profitable quarter in its corporate history and beating Wall Street expectations for fiscal first-quarter results. Revenue rose 61% alongside raised financial guidance, driven by sustained data-storage demand linked to artificial-intelligence infrastructure. Despite these record-breaking metrics, investors chose to take profits following the stock's recent run. Shares also faced pressure from a broader memory-stock selloff and investor anxiety regarding Chinese technology breakthroughs.
