Seagate Stock Jumps As AI Storage Demand Sends Forecast Past Wall Street

Seagate Stock Jumps As AI Storage Demand Sends Forecast Past Wall Street

Seagate Technology jumped after hours Tuesday, buoyed by a fiscal third-quarter beat and an upbeat forecast. The company pointed to robust demand for hard drives in AI data centers as the key driver. The shift is significant: AI infrastructure doesn't just hinge on chips. Firms working with AI require vast storage—handling data, outputs, logs—which sets up high-capacity hard-disk drive suppliers for a larger role. HDDs, those spinning disks, deliver bulk data storage at a price point below much of the flash-based competition.
US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Leads Wall Street Rally as Iran Ceasefire Relief Meets Earnings Momentum

US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Leads Wall Street Rally as Iran Ceasefire Relief Meets Earnings Momentum

U.S. stocks climbed Wednesday, with tech names pushing the Nasdaq higher, as investors returned to technology shares and snapped up companies posting strong earnings following President Donald Trump’s move to extend the ceasefire with Iran. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tacked on 381.18 points, or 0.78%, to reach 49,530.56 by 11:25 a.m. ET. The S&P 500 advanced 61.56 points, up 0.87%, at 7,125.15, and the Nasdaq Composite was higher by 313.74 points, or 1.29%, sitting at 24,573.70.
IBM Stock Gets Citi Buy Call Despite Worst Start Since 2002 as BofA Cuts Target Ahead of Earnings

IBM Stock Gets Citi Buy Call Despite Worst Start Since 2002 as BofA Cuts Target Ahead of Earnings

IBM ticked up Monday, gaining about 0.9% to $232.78 in late morning New York action, after Citi Research began coverage with a Buy and set a $285 target. Bank of America, on the other hand, dialed back its own target to $300 just ahead of IBM’s quarterly numbers. Despite today’s move, the stock remains down almost 22% for the year. IBM faces a dual test here: Wall Street wants to see if enterprise AI demand translates into consistent software gains, and analysts are also sizing up the risk that next-gen AI might erode revenue from IBM’s legacy platforms. Eyes turn to April 22, when Q1 numbers hit and investors get their first look at how last month’s Confluent deal is shaking out.
Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Rise on Iran Ceasefire Hopes; Oil Above $110, Seagate Surges, Tesla Falls

Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Rise on Iran Ceasefire Hopes; Oil Above $110, Seagate Surges, Tesla Falls

U.S. stocks finished in the green on Monday, with futures hardly budging as the session wound down. Wall Street kept a close watch on uncertain Iran ceasefire talks, while bracing for possible oil market turbulence ahead of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday deadline. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notched their fourth consecutive gain, the longest such run since late January. Here’s the key point: trading is clustered around the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint moving nearly 20% of global oil and gas. Brent finished at $109.77 a barrel, U.S. crude hit $112.40—numbers that won’t give inflation any breathing room. Quick rate cuts from central banks? Not likely in this setup.
Dow Jones Today: Industrial Average Rises as Iran Ceasefire Hopes Offset Oil and Fed Fears

Dow Jones Today: Industrial Average Rises as Iran Ceasefire Hopes Offset Oil and Fed Fears

By 11:50 a.m. ET on Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 83.20 points, or 0.18%, to 46,587.48. Wall Street found some footing after a rough March, with optimism swirling around possible 45-day Iran ceasefire negotiations. The S&P 500 was up 0.25%, while the Nasdaq Composite pushed higher by 0.40%. This is significant: with the Dow constructed as a price-weighted index of 30 big U.S. names, pricier stocks pack more punch than in market-cap-weighted gauges. Monday’s uptick hinted at a return of buyers to blue chips—though conviction was clearly thin.
US Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Rise as Iran Ceasefire Hopes Clash With Inflation Fears

US Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Rise as Iran Ceasefire Hopes Clash With Inflation Fears

Stocks in the U.S. moved up on Monday, with the Dow adding 83 points, the S&P 500 rising 0.25%, and the Nasdaq ahead 0.40% as of 11:50 a.m. ET. Fresh reports of Iran ceasefire talks seemed to keep momentum going after last week’s sharpest rally in four months. Bank stocks and chip plays set the tone—JPMorgan Chase and Visa buoyed financials, while Seagate surged on a Morgan Stanley upgrade to its top picks. “March was a tough month for stocks and investors really just want to find a reason to be optimistic,” said Melissa Brown, managing director of investment decision research at SimCorp. The stakes are rising: in the next few days, investors will get a clearer look at whether the oil shock out of the Middle East is morphing into a wider U.S. inflation threat. The consumer price index—set for release Friday—is forecast to jump 0.9% month-on-month, according to a Reuters poll. Early reads from Delta Air Lines and Constellation Brands will also provide clues on just how much higher fuel bills and war-driven turmoil are squeezing U.S. companies. “The market already has inflation on the brain,” said Patrick Ryan, chief investment strategist at Madison Investments.
Sandisk Stock Pulls Back After Citi Raises Target as 1,200% AI Rally Meets Valuation Test

Sandisk Stock Pulls Back After Citi Raises Target as 1,200% AI Rally Meets Valuation Test

Sandisk slipped roughly 4.4% in early U.S. trading Friday, even after Citi bumped its price target up to $875 from $750 the previous day. Investors seemed uncertain about whether the data-storage company’s AI-driven surge could continue. Shares changed hands at $738.50 as of 10:13 a.m. ET. Micron’s blockbuster quarter this week sent fresh waves through the memory market, underscoring just how much AI-driven data-center spending is pushing up demand—well past the usual chip leaders. That’s good news for Sandisk. The company, which makes NAND flash used inside SSDs, benefits directly: the read-through here underpins both the pricing narrative and the margin momentum that’s been fueling the stock’s climb.
