Stifel analyst Patrick Ho resumed coverage of Seagate Technology with a Hold rating and $62 price target. The company's valuation upside is "somewhat limited" in the near term given the stock's run in 2019, Ho tells investors in a research note.

A recovery in data center spending is transpiring, and this is likely to carry into 2020, driving potential upside to estimates, contends Ho.

Reports Q3 revenue $1.66B, consensus $1.68B. "Seagate's March quarter revenue grew 6% and non-GAAP EPS more than doubled over the December quarter as we benefit from improving cloud demand, our strong operating discipline and price execution. This combination sets the foundation for a return to target margin performance as the markets recover," said Dave Mosley, CEO. "This constructive demand backdrop is well-timed as we prepare to ramp our Mozaic products, anchored by industry-leading HAMR technology. HAMR-based products offer compelling economic value for our customers and position Seagate to drive further financial performance gains, as well as capitalize on favorable long-term demand for mass capacity storage."
