Tech stocks have been on a bit of a bumpy path recently [including Seagate](https://www.storagereview.com/seagate_wd_see_more_woes_with_the_release_of_3q_earnings). However the numbers reported today show a small increase pointing the company in a better direction. Seagate’s stock has been doing much better since their 3Q earnings were announced back in April. ![](https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/StorageReview-Seagate-4Q-2016-Stock.jpg) *Image courtesy of Google Finance* For this quarter Seagate is reporting a GAAP revenue of $2.7 billion, a gross margin of 24.9%, net income of $70 million (much better than their $21 million net loss last quarter), and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.23. Seagate was also able to generate $269 million in operating cash flow and pay cash dividends of $188 million in the fourth quarter. For non-GAAP, Seagate reported revenue of $2.7 billion, a gross margin of 25.8%, a net income of $207 million and diluted EPS of $0.69. Looking at the fiscal year, Seagate reported GAAP revenue of $11.2 billion, a gross margin of 23.4%, a net income of $248 million and diluted EPS of $0.82. Looking at the non-GAAP side of things, Seagate is reporting a gross margin of 24.6%, a net income of $684 million, and diluted EPS of $2.26. The company also states that they have generated approximately $1.7 billion in operating cash flow and paid cash dividends of $727 million. Seagate’s board of directors have also approved of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.63 per share, which will be payable on October 5, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 21, 2016. ![]() Seagate has made some leaps and bounds over the last year. They have introduced several [10TB HDDs aimed at desktops, NAS, and surveillance](https://www.storagereview.com/seagate_announces_guardian_series_of_10tb_hdds). We were able to [test their 10TB desktop drive](https://www.storagereview.com/seagate_barracuda_pro_10tb_hdd_review) and found it to be a strong write performer in IOMeter as well as a strong performer in our HTPC benchmark. Seagate also announced [10TB helium enterprise drives](https://www.storagereview.com/seagate_now_shipping_10tb_enterprise_hdd). While this is a big step forward in the land of HDDs, a concern we brought up was [Seagate’s overall lack of flash](https://www.storagereview.com/is_seagate_at_risk_when_it_comes_to_flash). However Seagate seems to be rectifying this issue with announcements such as the industry’s first [2TB M.2 NVMe enterprise drive](https://www.storagereview.com/seagate_announces_industryfirst_2tb_enterprise_m2_nvme_ssd). It will be interesting to watch the company this year as it continues to make innovations in the HDD market while it expands its reach in the flash market.  [Seagate Investor Relations](http://www.seagate.com/investors/) [Discuss this story](http://forums.storagereview.com/index.php/topic/39408-seagate-reports-4q-and-fy-2016-earnings/) [Sign up for the StorageReview newsletter](https://www.storagereview.com/storage_newsletter) **Engage with StorageReview** [Newsletter](https://www.storagereview.com/storage_newsletter) |  [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/user/StorageReview "Opens in a new window") | Podcast  [iTunes](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/storagereview-com-storage-reviews/id1060681115 "Opens in a new window")/ [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1y6VnznABhHeOSMOmbDTz0 "Opens in a new window") |  [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/storagereview/ "Opens in a new window") |  [Twitter](https://twitter.com/storagereview "Opens in a new window") |  [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@storagereview?
