Seagate Technology Holdings 53rd Annual Nasdaq Investor Conference summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Demand trends and industry drivers
Exabyte revenue growth in nearline storage has exceeded prior expectations, with demand outpacing supply and video (including AI video) as a major driver.
Emerging applications like autonomous driving and robotics are expected to further increase storage needs in the near future.
AI-native vendors currently focus on compute, but as their infrastructure matures, storage demand from this segment is expected to rise.
Cloud customer CapEx remains the best top-down indicator for HDD demand, with storage allocation growing as overall CapEx increases.
Supply, capacity, and technology roadmap
No current plans to expand unit supply; industry can meet short-term needs with existing product roadmaps and exabyte growth of about 25%.
Second-generation HAMR (40 TB) drives are being qualified, with sales expected to ramp in 2026, followed by even higher-capacity drives up to 100 TB.
Firm supply visibility extends four to five quarters ahead, with longer-term agreements (LTAs) in place for 2027 and beyond, though these are less binding than purchase orders.
Inventory management is prioritized to avoid over-ordering and maintain healthy pricing.
Product mix, pricing, and profitability
Fiscal year ending June is dominated by first-generation HAMR (30 TB), with a transition to second-generation HAMR (40 TB) expected next year.
By the end of the next fiscal year, 70% of exabytes sold are projected to be HAMR-based, driving significant cost reductions per TB.
Price per TB has remained generally flat over the past 10 quarters, with expectations for continued stability or slight increases.
Higher-capacity HAMR drives provide a competitive advantage through better cost efficiency and profitability, especially if competitors lag in capacity.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.

Frequently asked questions
Hard Drive Experts
Seagate Technology Holdings PLC is an American data storage company that develops and manufactures various types of hardware solutions such as hard drives and similar storage devices. The company is one of the largest players in the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) market and its growth has been fuelled by innovation as well as a number of strategic acquisitions over the years. The company is incorporated in Dublin, Ireland, but has its operational headquarters in Fremont, California. Seagate’s shares are traded on the Nasdaq.
A Pioneer
Seagate Technology was founded in 1979 by Alan Shugart and Finis Conner. Marking a significant development in the data storage industry, Seagate introduced the 5MB ST506, the first 5.25-inch hard disk drive, in 1980. This product played a crucial role in the development of the burgeoning microcomputer market, offering a new form of storage that was more compact and suitable for personal computers.
In its early years, Seagate focused on developing and refining hard disk drive technology, capitalizing on the growing demand for data storage solutions that were both reliable and accessible. The company's innovations in the 1980s, such as the introduction of new encoding techniques, were instrumental in increasing the storage capacity and efficiency of hard drives. These innovations helped establish Seagate as a key player in the data storage industry during its formative years.
Notable Acquisitions
Seagate Technology has strategically expanded through several significant acquisitions. One of its most impactful moves came in 1996 when it acquired Conner Peripherals, a prominent hard disk drive manufacturer. This acquisition notably increased Seagate's manufacturing capacity and market share and allowed the company to further accelerate its growth. Another major acquisition occurred in 2006 when Seagate purchased Maxtor Corporation, further solidifying its position in the global hard drive market. In 2011, Seagate entered the Solid-State Drive (SSD) market by acquiring the SSD assets from Samsung's hard disk drive business, diversifying its product range, and enhancing its technological offerings within SSDs.
Its Products Today
Today, Seagate is one of the dominating forces in the hard drive sector together with Western Digital. Its product lineup primarily includes hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs), catering to both consumer and business markets. Seagate's HDDs are used extensively in desktops, laptops, and servers for bulk data storage. The company’s SSD offerings, incorporating the latest in NAND flash technology, are designed for high-speed data access and efficiency, finding applications in personal computing, gaming, and professional environments. Additionally, Seagate offers hybrid drives that combine HDD and SSD technology, external storage drives for personal data backup, and network-attached storage (NAS) systems suited for home and small business users.
