Seagate stock jumps after-hours as “memory supercycle” talk lifts storage names
Seagate shares closed up 4.8% at $427.33 and rose another 6.2% after hours, while Western Digital, Micron, and Sandisk also posted strong gains. The rally followed warnings of an “unprecedented” memory-chip shortage and rising prices. Traders are focused on Western Digital’s Innovation Day in New York on Tuesday for further signals on demand. Seagate director Jay L. Geldmacher sold 925 shares last week, according to a regulatory filing.
