Data Storage Stocks Power Ahead With More Earnings in Store...

Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX - News) topped the Street's EPS expectations with ease, sending shares higher by 10%.

Data storage player Seagate Technology earned $533 million or $1.05 per share in its second fiscal quarter ended January 1. The company topped EPS consensus by 40 cents, also beating on revenues with $3.03 billion. Seagate boasted a 30.5% gross margin in its second fiscal quarter, and CEO Steve Luczo said the company should do better than the previously stated target of 22% to 26% in 2010.

The news is carrying Seagate shares higher by 10% today, and components of the Data Storage Stocks Index are following. The Index is now ahead of the S&P 500 by 4.5% over the last month.

Hutchinson Technology (NASDAQ: HTCH - News), which will report its earnings on Janurary 26, is ahead by 5% today. The company has bested Wall Street's EPS estimates for three straight quarters, though it hasn't posted a quarterly gain since January of 2008.

STEC (NASDAQ: STEC - News) earnings won't come until March 11, but that hasn't stopped traders from having their way with the stock. Today shares are rebounding by 2% after plummeting by -10% in Wednesday's session. STEC is hanging on to a 20% gain over the last month after Broadpoint AmTech gave the stock a $23 price target and Deutsche Bank called the company "a top pick for 2010." More recently, rumors spread that STEC was a possible buyout target of IBM (NYSE: IBM - News), but chalk that up to speculation until any official reports surface.

Elsewhere in the data storage sector, Quantum Corp. (NSYE: QTM) and Western Digital (NYSE: WDC - News) are also showing strength today. Analysts expect the latter to report $1.36 in EPS after the bell.

Meanwhile, 3PAR (NYSE: PAR - News), Xyratex (NASDAQ: XRTX - News), and Compellent Technologies (NYSE: CML - News) are all slipping with the rest of the market for the session. 3PAR is currently one of just three Data Storage Stocks Index components to remain positive over the last week.
