Seagate (STX, $45.14) beats earnings estimates, but geopolitical concerns remain

Seagate Technology outpaced earnings and revenue estimates for its latest quarter, but portended challenges from a geopolitical angle.

The data storage company reported fiscal second-quarter earnings of $1.34 per share – compared to analysts’ expectation of $1.27 a share. The figure was also higher than 55 cents per share of the year-ago period. Net income increased to $384 million, from $159 million of the same quarter a year ago.

Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.72 billion, higher than analysts’ estimate of $2.71 billion (according FactSet). However, revenue was -6.5% lower from the year-ago quarter.

Seagate CEO Dave Mosley recognized headwinds from geopolitical uncertainties for the storage industry, but also indicated his faith in long-term growth of demand.

The AI revolution is so big that as it stands today, the world’s five biggest hedge funds all use systems-based approaches to trade financial markets.Indeed, quantitative trading hedge funds now manage $918 billion (according to HFR), which amounts to 30% of the $3 trillion hedge fund industry – a percentage continues to grow with each year that passes.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Where smaller, more volatile companies can placate shareholders with higher returns, larger companies often use dividend payouts to entice new investors and hold their existing ones. These low-risk options may not work for every investment approach, but dividend-producing stocks can offer great benefits under the right circumstances – especially for portfolios built for the long-term.Beyond the ability to rely on these semi-regular payouts as an income stream – a strategy favored by retirees – dividends are an excellent vehicle for compounding earnings through reinvestment.
