Fiscal 2026 growth and Q4 momentum

According to analysis from TradingKey dated September 6, 2026, Seagate generated revenue of USD 12,195,000,000 in fiscal year 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 34 percent from the prior fiscal year.

The same TradingKey overview notes that Seagate’s GAAP net income reached USD 3,184,000,000 in fiscal 2026, more than doubling from USD 1,469,000,000 in the previous fiscal year, highlighting a marked recovery in profitability as demand for high-capacity drives and cloud storage picked up.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, TradingKey reports that Seagate delivered single-quarter revenue of USD 3,629,000,000, while its GAAP gross margin climbed to 52.3 percent, showing a strong exit from the fiscal year.

Cash flow strength and guidance for fiscal 2027

The TradingKey comparison further states that Seagate’s full-year operating cash flow in fiscal 2026 amounted to USD 3,700,000,000, with free cash flow reaching USD 3,100,000,000, giving the company significant financial flexibility to invest in next-generation storage technologies and return capital to shareholders.

Looking ahead, Seagate expects revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 to be around USD 4,100,000,000, according to the TradingKey analysis, which represents an increase from the USD 3,629,000,000 reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and signals continued strength in cloud data center demand.

Dividend policy, analyst view and peer angle

TradingKey notes that Seagate continues to pay a quarterly dividend of USD 0.74 per share, and MarketBeat adds that the company’s payout ratio stands at about 21 percent, indicating that the bulk of earnings is still being reinvested into the business while providing a modest income stream to shareholders.

According to a MarketBeat instant alert dated September 6, 2026, the broader analyst sentiment on Seagate remains in the “Moderate Buy” range, with a consensus price target reported at USD 986.00, and the same alert cites Wall Street Zen as having moved its rating from “strong buy” to “buy” while highlighting strong recent quarterly numbers.

For investors comparing storage specialists, TradingKey’s side-by-side view with SanDisk shows that while SanDisk’s fiscal 2026 revenue growth was faster at 175 percent year over year, Seagate’s 34 percent revenue increase to USD 12,195,000,000 and more than doubling of GAAP net income to USD 3,184,000,000 underline that Seagate is pairing solid top-line expansion with robust profitability and cash generation.

Key product focus: high-capacity enterprise drives

In the storage market, Seagate is best known for its high-capacity enterprise hard disk drives used in cloud and hyperscale data centers, a segment that TradingKey indicates is driving the company’s expectation for around USD 4,100,000,000 in first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue and adjusted earnings per share of approximately USD 7.30 as cloud data center demand remains strong.

These high-capacity drives form a core part of Seagate’s positioning in AI and big data workloads, where large volumes of unstructured data must be stored efficiently and accessed reliably, and the fiscal 2026 figures suggest that this demand is translating into both higher revenue and improved margins.
