Seagate Technology (STX) shares rose 9.85% to $551.01, driven by a broad relief rally in memory and storage stocks following a steep monthly decline. The move was further supported by a new long-term partnership with Kratos Defense and the launch of a new hybrid storage drive.
What Happened
The primary catalyst for the session was a sector-wide rebound in AI-related hardware names. Storage and memory stocks led the recovery after a significant pullback, with peers such as Sandisk and Micron also posting double-digit or high single-digit gains. Separately, Seagate announced a long-term agreement with Kratos Defense to use its Gateway offshore launch platform for national security missions. The first mission under this deal is planned for 2027, with multiple subsequent launches scheduled. In product news, the company introduced the FireCuda Forge external storage drive, which features hybrid HDD and SSD technology with Alkemi dynamic caching. The drive offers USB4 connectivity and speeds up to 2,500 MB/s, with pricing starting at $699 for the 8TB model and $899 for the 20TB model.
