Up almost 50% since March, we believe Seagate stock (NASDAQ: STX) could see significant downside. STX stock is slightly above the level it was at, at the start of 2020. It traded at $54 in February 2020 – just before the outbreak of coronavirus – and is currently more than 10% above that level, as well. Further, due to poor Q1 2021 results, and unlikely demand growth in the near to medium term, the stock has the potential to drop 10% to its pre-Covid level of around $54. Our conclusion is based on our comparative analysis of Seagate stock performance during the current crisis with that during the 2008 recession in our interactive dashboard.
