Jacob Wilhelm's questions to Seagate Technology Holdings PLC (STX) leadership • Q3 2025
Question
On behalf of Aaron Rakers, Jacob Wilhelm asked about the materiality of AI inference storage for the long-term addressable market, any changes in hyperscaler purchasing patterns, and current capital allocation priorities.
Answer
CEO Dave Mosley noted it is still early days for AI's full impact, but emerging video applications and the build-out of data infrastructure to support AI are exciting growth drivers. CFO Gianluca Romano reiterated that capital allocation priorities are unchanged: first, reduce debt to target levels, then resume share buybacks, all while maintaining the dividend.
