On September 12, Seagate Technology PLC fell 3.08% overnight, trading at $804.64 per share, with turnover of $3.1045 million. The decline was driven by continued weakness across the storage sector and a significant insider reduction filing by the company's CFO.
On the news front, CFO Gianluca Romano filed a Form 144 to sell 50,498 shares of common stock through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, with an estimated market value of approximately $43.55 million. The shares were sourced from stock option exercises. Notably, Romano has executed four separate reductions totaling 33,537 shares over the past three months. Meanwhile, CEO William D. Mosley also recently filed to sell 90,000 shares valued at roughly $74.55 million.
The broader storage sector continued to face selling pressure. SanDisk fell over 3%, Western Digital dropped nearly 3%, and SK Hynix declined over 5% in recent sessions, as the sector gave back gains previously driven by AI computing demand. On the macro front, surging oil prices and rising U.S. Treasury yields further weighed on market risk appetite.
