Tech stocks have borne the brunt of the recent sell off in equity markets and with the Nasdaq firmly in bear market territory, it is unprofitable tech stocks that have been hit the hardest - down almost 60% this year.   But amid these sell offs, there can be category leaders that fall to attractive valuations, relative to their long-term growth profile. Antipodes thinks Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) is one of those leaders, and it's priced at just 8x next year’s earnings.   In part one of this episode (2:20), Alison Savas speaks to Seagate's CFO, Gianluca Romano. In part two (22.00), Alison Savas and Graham Hay (Antipodes Portfolio Manager of Hardware, Industrials and Commodities) discuss the Seagate investment case.   Disclaimer:  All content in respect of the Antipodes Global Shares (Quoted Managed Fund) (ARSN 625 560 269), the Antipodes Global Fund – Long (ARSN 118 075 764), the Antipodes Global Fund (ARSN 087 719 515), and the Antipodes Asia Fund (ARSN 096 451 393) is issued by Pinnacle Fund Services Limited ABN 29 082 494 371 AFSL 238 371 (“PFSL”) as responsible entity of the Funds and is prepared by Antipodes Partners Limited (ABN 29 602 042 035) (AFSL 481580) (“Antipodes”) as the investment manager of the Trust.
