Needham & Company Maintains a 'Strong Buy' on Seagate Technology (STX); Lots of Noise, But Q4 Consistent With Preannouncement

Needham & Company maintains a 'Strong Buy' on Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) price target of $42.00.

Analyst, Richard Kugele, said, "Lost in the noise of the quarter and Street estimates is the record result STX posted, with dramatic cash flow, a raised dividend (~4.5% yield) and a targeted share count far below prior expectations. In the current weak demand environment and clear balanced supply/demand it is difficult to argue the positive benefits post-flood are still at work, and yet the results remain record-setting. Consequently, we see great value in the shares of STX and maintain our Strong Buy." (FY13 EPS estimate lowered from $8.84 to $8.50)
