On 28 July 2026 Seagate, a maker of high-capacity hard drives, reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $3.6 billion and fiscal 2026 revenue of $12.2 billion, up 34%. Its chief executive said results are driven by robust cloud data center demand, and that as AI accelerates data generation it sees durable long-term demand for mass-capacity storage.
