The Quality Score for STX stands at 6.8 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Seagate Technology Holdings plc in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Seagate Technology Holdings plc’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 260 Technology companies with a published score, that ranks at the 78th percentile, inside the top quarter of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.9, and the best quarter starts from 6.7. Seagate Technology Holdings plc is above that typical reading.
On profitability, Seagate Technology Holdings plc scores 8.8, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.6 across 256 Technology companies, which places it well above them, at the 92nd percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
Seagate Technology Holdings plc’s solvency score is 6.7 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 8.0 among 194 Technology companies, that is below the group and the 33rd percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
Growth scores 6.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 207 Technology companies is 6.4, so Seagate Technology Holdings plc is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 51st percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Efficiency scores 8.8 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 240 Technology companies is 7.1, so Seagate Technology Holdings plc is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 90th percentile. High efficiency means assets and earnings are being turned into cash and output better than at most peers, a sign of a well run operation.
On predictability, Seagate Technology Holdings plc scores 3.4, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.7 across 258 Technology companies, which places it below them, at the 24th percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.
The gap between Seagate Technology Holdings plc’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 8.8 against predictability at 3.4, 5.4 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is predictability. If it rose to the median of Technology companies, 4.7, Seagate Technology Holdings plc’s overall score would go from 6.8 to about 7.1. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Seagate Technology Holdings plc has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
