Seagate: Time To Lock In Gains, As Multiples And Margins Trail Peers (Rating Downgrade)

I'm downgrading Seagate to a sell after a massive run-up, as better alternatives like Western Digital now exist. Seagate's valuation has become stretched at 15x forward P/E, making its risk/reward profile less attractive compared to cheaper, higher-margin WDC. The memory industry remains highly competitive and commoditized, with potential demand risks if AI-driven capex slows in the coming years.
