Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) now expects to report FQ1 revenue of $2.9B vs. prior guidance of $2.9B-$3.1B and a $3.03B consensus. Unit shipments are expected to total 47M - up from FQ4's 45.3M but down from 59.5M a year ago - with Seagate maintaining a 40% share (implies a total market of 117.5M).Gross margin (non-GAAP) is now expected to be at 24%, below prior guidance of 27% and down from 27.2% in FQ4 and 28.1% a year ago. Seagate blames lower-than-expected demand for 4TB and 6TB nearline hard drives. An 8TB product was recently announced.FQ1 op. cash flow is expected to total $800M. 20M shares were repurchased.CEO Steve Luczo: "While Seagate had strong operating cash flows and made significant progress in cost containment in the September quarter, we are disappointed we did not execute a product portfolio that fully addressed the demand in the nearline market. Looking ahead, we are confident that our nearline product portfolio will be fully competitive by our fiscal third quarter."Full FQ1 results arrive on the morning of Oct. 30. Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC), recently rumored to have held buyout talks with SanDisk, is following Seagate lower. Seagate also issued an FQ4 warning in July.
