Analysis

Beloved champion

Seagate Technology Holdings plc is a beloved champion: its quality is genuine, and the market already prices it as exceptional. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is expensive. You pay 89.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 27% yearly growth; analysts expect 63%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
