Seagate Technology Holdings PLC Ordinary Shares (Ireland) trades at 61.0× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 37.8×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 15.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.15**. A PEG of 0.15 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 15.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 15.8×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 88.9×**. The shares trade at 88.9× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 44.5×**. Enterprise value is 44.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.6%** (5-yr avg 4.4%). Free cash flow equals 1.6% of the market value, below its five-year average of 4.4%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.

- **Net margin: 26.1%**. 26.1% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
