  • Deutsche Bank analyst Sidney Ho raised the price target on Seagate to $110 from $100 and maintained a Hold rating on the shares. 
  • The analyst came away from the company's fiscal Q2 earnings more positive on its revenue growth opportunity for 2022. 
  • However, Ho believes the stock's risk/reward is relatively balanced at current levels and waits for a better entry point.
