Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 12% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. The stock picked up sharply from the near-flat trend of $32.87 to $34.94 in the past one-month time frame.
The move came after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter fiscal 2018 results.
The company has not seen any estimate revisions in the past one month, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also remained unchanged. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
