On September 15, Seagate Technology PLC declined 3.59% in regular trading, trading at 781.57 USD/share, with turnover of approximately $219 million. The decline extended a multi-day selloff in the storage sector as the AI demand narrative faced renewed headwinds.

On the executive selling front, CFO Gianluca Romano recently filed Form 144 to sell 50,498 shares valued at approximately $43.55 million, marking his fourth reduction in three months. CEO William D. Mosley also previously sold 19,690 shares at prices ranging from $804.17 to $832.07. The consecutive insider disposals have weighed on investor sentiment.

The broader storage sector remained under pressure following reports that OpenAI would not pursue an IPO and that CEOs of Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX jointly called for slowing AI development, dampening market expectations for near-term AI compute and storage demand growth. Peers including SK Hynix, SanDisk, Western Digital, and Micron Technology all posted significant losses in prior sessions. On the macro level, surging oil prices and rising U.S. Treasury yields further suppressed risk appetite.
