Seagate has announced a significant increase in its annual revenue growth target to "at least 20%" due to strong demand for its HAMR technology, which has driven a 44% year-over-year revenue increase. The company's non-GAAP gross margin reached a record 47%, with incremental gross margins exceeding 70%, largely attributed to the increased areal density of HAMR technology. This innovation allows for over 30% higher capacity without additional material costs. Data center revenue surged by 55% year-over-year to approximately $2.5 billion, making up 80% of Seagate's total revenue. The company has secured near-term capacity through CY2027 with fully booked pricing and volume allocations for FY2027 BTO contracts. Free cash flow reached nearly $1 billion, the highest in a decade, prompting Fitch to upgrade Seagate's credit rating to investment grade. The company plans to focus on share buybacks after completing debt reduction. Seagate's strategic focus on HAMR technology positions it ahead of competitors, with Mozaic 4 already in use and Mozaic 5 expected by the end of CY2027. The company anticipates continued growth driven by AI storage demand and a robust technology roadmap, despite potential competition from WDC's future HAMR developments.
