Seagate To Acquire Intevac; Intevac Shareholders To Receive $4/Share In Cash Plus Special Dividend Of $0.052 Per Share And A Regular Dividend of $0.05 Per Share

Following China's DeepSeek impact — an artificial intelligence model that could compete with Western models on capabilities and at a much lower cost — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43289107/will-deepseek-hurt-magnificent-7-stocks-valuation">worries abounded regarding </a>its potential negative effect on the tech ecosystem. However, Palantir Technologies Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43463909/palantir-stock-is-surging-tuesday-whats-going-on">gangbusters earnings report</a> helped to recalibrate the compass. Still, rather than chasing the hottest hand of the moment, thinking investors may consider a less-heralded opportunity with Seagate Technology Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STX#NASDAQ">STX</a>).
Let's be real here — Seagate is unlikely to generate the buzz of a Palantir or an Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in terms of AI relevance. Nevertheless, Seagate plays a critical role in machine intelligence by supplying high-capacity storage solutions that power AI workloads. Obviously, deep learning and other advanced models require enormous amounts of data and Seagate provides the drives that store and process this data efficiently.
Regarding STX stock, Palantir's individual metrics — such as blowing past revenue and earnings targets — don't mean much. Rather, it's the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/25/02/43468342/palantir-rockets-on-strong-q4-2024-was-only-a-dress-rehearsal-for-ai-growth-says-analyst">broader implications</a> for the innovation industry that matters. BofA Securities analyst Mariana Perez Mora stated that Palantir's disclosure revealed that "2024 was only a dress rehearsal." Mora further emphasized that "the company sees the world ripe for an AI and technology revolution."
By logical deduction, an AI and tech revolution would lead to more data processing and storage requirements — and that plays right into Seagate's hands.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Statistical Trends Favor a Bullish Outlook on STX Stock</h2>
Another element beyond the enticing fundamentals that favor a bullish outlook on STX stock is its statistical trends. Over the long run, the U.S. stock market features an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/23/06/33061931/avoid-the-timing-trap-embrace-a-diversified-long-term-strategy">upward bias</a>. As a rule of thumb, investors will do well to consider individual names that also tend to rise over time. That's exactly the case with STX.
Over the past five years, against a stochastic view — that is, incorporating no other context aside from the temporal — the security has a 55.85% chance that a position entered at the beginning of the week will rise by the end of it. Extend this time period to four weeks and the upward bias only diminishes slightly to 54.2%.
In terms of magnitude of results, positive four-week periods feature a median return of 6.96% while negative periods incur a median loss of 6.59%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04142357/STX-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-765562" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04142357/STX-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04142357/STX-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04142357/STX-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04142357/STX-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
However, the market can respond more vigorously based on unusual fluctuations of the fear-greed continuum. Last week, STX suffered a loss of 8.32%. That's aberrant because over the past five years, the median loss under negative weeks sits at only 3.41%.
It's worth noting that under dynamic conditions — in this case, following an extreme-fear event involving a one-week loss between 5% and 10% — the responding long odds improve over the stochastic framework. By the end of the fourth subsequent week following unusual volatility, STX has a 60.71% chance of rising. The median return under positive outcomes is 6.32%, while the median loss under negative scenarios is 3.58%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Plotting an Effective Options Strategy</h2>
To be honest, the idea of generating returns of a few percentage points here or there isn't exactly enticing. However, with the power of multi-leg options strategies, the leverage can be enhanced significantly. One problem, though, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-research-and-choose-etfs">paralysis by analysis</a>. Just how does one go about selecting an appropriate strategy?
With the market intelligence above, this process is much simpler. By the options chain expiring Feb. 28 (four weeks following last week's extreme-fear event), there is a solid chance that under dynamic conditions, STX may rise to $102.45 or fall to $92.91. As such, an aggressive investor may consider the 95/102 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">bull call spread</a>.
Under the bull spread, an investor buys a call option (the $95 call in the above case) and simultaneously sells a call (the $102 call). The credit received from the sale of the short call (which is $85 at time of writing) partially offsets the debit paid for the long call (which is $330 at this moment). Therefore, the net debit paid is $245, which also represents the most that can be lost in the trade.
Should STX stock rise to $102 or above, the trader picks up the maximum reward, which is represented by the difference between the strike prices (assuming the options multiplier of 100 shares per every option contract) minus the net debit paid. This comes out to $455 or a payout of 185.71%.
What's more, the long call of $95 provides some downside protection. Should the trade go awry, traders may be able to salvage some value out of the bull spread, so long as STX stock doesn't fall below $95. Less-aggressive investors may choose to consider lower long strikes (as well as short strikes) to improve the odds of success. However, such approaches will usually accompany a greater cash outlay and/or a lesser payout.

Shares of tech and AI stocks are trading lower amid AI competition concerns from China's DeepSeek.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse expressed views on Seagate Technology Holdings PLC&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STX#NASDAQ">STX</a>) second-quarter&nbsp;results while retaining a Neutral rating and<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/stx/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> a price target of $120</a>.
Yesterday, the company reported&nbsp;second-quarter&nbsp;FY25 revenue of&nbsp;$2.33 billion,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43113660/seagate-technology-reports-fiscal-second-quarter-2025-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus.</a>
Seagate <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects&nbsp;third-quarter</a>&nbsp;adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.70 at the midpoint, against the analyst&#8217;s previewed estimate of ~$1.60. It also expects revenue of&nbsp;$2.10&nbsp;billion at the midpoint versus the&nbsp;analyst&#8217;s previewed estimate of $2.10 billion.
The analyst says Seagate provided a better-than-expected report, with March quarter revenues down $200 million due to previously discussed supply chain issues.
Muse writes that while some investors fear a cyclical peak after six quarters of Nearline revenue recovery, management highlighted limited supply additions, build-to-order contracts, long lead times of up to 52 weeks, and strong AI-driven EB growth, supporting sustained demand.
The analyst notes that management remains highly optimistic about the HAMR ramp in the second half of FY25, expecting it to drive incremental share gains, higher drive density, and improved gross margins.
The analyst raised the CY25 EPS estimate to $8.85 (from $8.60; vs. consensus of $8.06) and reiterated the CY26 EPS estimate at $11.00 (vs. street view of $9.82).
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;StockSnips AI-Powered Sentiment US All Cap ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEWZ#NASDAQ">NEWZ</a>) and&nbsp;Affinity World Leaders Equity ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WLDR#BATS">WLDR</a>).

Seagate Reports Solid Q2, Analyst Optimistic About Advanced HAMR Technology Impact In 2025

Tech stocks enjoyed a surge Wednesday, driven by a sharp rise in semiconductor shares after President Donald Trump, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Oracle Corp.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) was up 2.3% by midday trading in New York, eyeing their fourth straight positive session, the longest streak since late September.

Elsewhere, small caps paused for a breather following Tuesday&#8217;s outperformance vis-à-vis large-cap counterparts. 
Chinese stocks slipped, with the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) down 0.8%, after Trump floated the idea of imposing a 10% tariff on China starting from Feb. 1.
In commodities, gold prices surged to an 11-week-high, marking their tenth gain in the past eleven sessions, as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical risks.
On Wednesday, Trump warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of potential new sanctions if a peace deal for Ukraine is not reached. Meanwhile, oil prices remained flat after three consecutive sessions of losses.
In the crypto market, selling pressure is mounting as traders react to the absence of crypto-related commentary from the new administration, which had previously positioned itself as crypto-friendly. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) retreated nearly 2% to $104,000.
