. 17, , ranking 111th among U.S. equities. The stock’s performance reflects mixed signals from sector dynamics and operational updates.

Recent reports highlight Seagate’s strategic focus on expanding its data storage solutions for cloud infrastructure, driven by sustained demand for hybrid cloud and edge computing applications. Analysts noted the company’s efforts to optimize manufacturing efficiency amid fluctuating raw material costs, which could stabilize margins in the near term.

To run this back-test I’ll need a bit more detail so the results match what you have in mind: 1. Universe • Do we rank all U.S. listed common stocks each day, or a narrower list (e.g., S&P 500 constituents, Russell 3000, NYSE + NASDAQ only, etc.)? 2. Weighting scheme • Equal-weight the 500 names each day, or weight by something else (e.g., proportional to volume or market-cap)? 3. Entry & exit prices • Enter at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (standard 1-day hold)? • Or intraday open-to-close? 4. Trading frictions • Assume zero transaction cost / slippage, or add a realistic cost (e.g., 2 bp per side)? 5. Benchmark (optional) • Would you like the results compared with a benchmark index such as SPY? Once I have these parameters, I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test for you.
