On Thursday, Shares of Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ:STX), lost -13.31% to $41.44. The stock attained the volume of 21.47 million shares.
Seagate Technology plc (STX), declared selected preliminary financial information for its fiscal first quarter of 2016, which ended on October 2, 2015.
Seagate anticipates to report revenue of about $2.9 billion and non-GAAP gross margin of about 24% for the fiscal first quarter 2016. The Company anticipates to report unit shipments for the fiscal first quarter of about 47 million and maintaining about 40% market share.
These preliminary results compare to the Company’s formerly forecasted range for fiscal first quarter of revenue of $2.9 to $3.1 billion and non-GAAP gross margin of about 27%. The difference in the Company’s non-GAAP gross margin from its forecast was driven primarily by lower than predictable intra-quarter demand for the Company’s 4TB and 6TB nearline HDD products. Seagate declared its 8TB nearline HDD products in September and anticipates to enhance its market participation in this growth segment over the next several quarters.
