Seagate Technology Holdings PLC (STX) shares jump 5,187% since initial institutional outlier inflow signal in 2005.

STX is a leader in data storage, including hard disk drives, solid state hybrid drives, solid state drives, as well as other data storage and computing solutions. Its second-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed over $2.83 billion in quarter revenue (a 22% year-over-year jump), non-GAAP per-share earnings of $3.11 (up 19%), and offered revenue guidance of up to $3 billion for the current quarter.

No wonder STX shares are up 58% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
