Seagate Technology Holdings provides hard disk drives (HDDs) for the personal computer, enterprise server, storage, retail, and consumer device markets. In December 2011, Seagate completed the acquisition of Samsung's HDD business for $1.4 billion in cash and stock. In calendar 2014, Seagate acquired Xyratex and LSI's SSD assets. In 2018, Seagate invested $1 billion in the Bain consortium to assure adequate NVM supply. Kioxia, the successor company to Toshiba Memory, has since bought out that investment, while retaining NVM supply agreements with Seagate.

At midday Wednesday, the major benchmarks were in the red amid a continued upward surge in interest rates. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was up 5 basis points at 4.25%, rising more than 50 basis points since the start of October.

Seagate is a leading supplier of hard disk drives for data storage to the enterprise and consumer markets. It forms a practical duopoly in the market with its chief rival, Western Digital; they are both vertically integrated.
