Seagate Falls Over 7% Pre-Market on Report Samsung to Triple HBM Prices Next Year

The reported move matters less as a memory-price story than as a read-through on cost pressure across storage and hardware margins, with Seagate taking the hit before any confirmation exists.

Whether Samsung confirms, and whether peers with similar memory exposure trade in sympathy, is the open question.
