What is this all about?

Before the market opened on October 26, 2022, Seagate Technology Holdings plc announced financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2022. That same day Seagate disclosed receipt of a “proposed charging letter” from U.S. Commerce Department on August 29, 2022 for allegedly selling hard disk drives to China’s Huawei, despite their being on a trade blacklist and transactions with Huawei requiring government approval. Seagate’s position at the time was that the hard disk drives were not subject to the U.S. export regulations, and that it did not engage in prohibited conduct.

Shares of Seagate Technology stock dropped more than 10% in intraday trading after the market opened on October 26, 2022.

On April 19, 2023, after the market closed, Seagate disclosed that it had entered into a five year settlement agreement with the U.S. Commerce Department agreeing to pay $300 million, and complete several compliance audits to resolve the allegations of sales to Huawei between August 17, 2020 and September 29, 2021.

Seagate Technology shares dropped more than 9% in intraday trading on April 20, 2023.
