Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You purchased or acquired Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) common stock or other securities during the relevant class period defined in the settlement
- You suffered a financial loss as a result of the alleged misrepresentations — meaning the stock declined in value after the corrective disclosures were made
- You are a U.S. or international investor who held Seagate securities during the qualifying period (institutional and individual investors may both qualify)
- You did not opt out of the class action during the notice period
- Note: Specific class period dates and full eligibility criteria are detailed in the official settlement documents — check the claim administrator's website for the exact qualifying dates
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $175 million. Individual payouts will vary depending on how many shares you purchased, when you bought and sold them, and how many total valid claims are submitted. Securities settlements use a plan of allocation — a formula that calculates each claimant's "recognized loss" based on their specific trading activity during the class period. Because the final amount per share depends on total participation, it's difficult to predict an exact payout per claimant. However, with a $175 million fund, eligible investors with significant share holdings could receive a meaningful recovery. Filing a claim is free and worth doing if you traded Seagate stock during the covered period.How to File Your Claim
The administrator has not published a claim form for this settlement. The steps below are what filing will involve once one exists.

- Confirm that your trades fall within the specific class period dates outlined in the official settlement notice
- Visit the official settlement claims administrator website to review the plan of allocation and obtain the official claim form

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline to file a claim for the Seagate Technology $175M Securities Class Action Settlement?
The current deadline to file a claim is Oct 19, 2026. Claims sent by mail must be postmarked by this date, so allow about a week for delivery if you are not filing online.
Do I need documentation for the Seagate Technology $175M Securities Class Action Settlement?
Yes — this settlement requires supporting documentation, and what counts is set out on the official claim form rather than being the same in every case: a consumer case may ask for receipts or order confirmations, while a financial or data-breach case usually turns on account records or the notice the administrator sent you. Note: some settlements still require a Claimant ID or PIN from a mailed notice; if this one does, it will be shown on the official claim form.
How do I file a claim for the Seagate Technology $175M Securities Class Action Settlement?
File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.
What is the Seagate Technology securities class action settlement about?
The Seagate Technology securities class action lawsuit alleged that the company and some of its executives made false or misleading statements to investors that artificially inflated the stock price. When the truth was revealed, the stock dropped, causing losses to investors. Seagate agreed to pay $175 million to settle the case without admitting wrongdoing.
How do I know if I qualify for the Seagate securities settlement?
You likely qualify if you purchased Seagate Technology (STX) stock during the specific class period and lost money when the stock declined. Review your brokerage records to confirm your trade dates and compare them against the official class period. If you received a settlement notice in the mail, that's a strong sign you may be eligible.
Do I need proof to file a Seagate securities settlement claim?
Yes, securities settlement claims typically require documentation of your trades. You'll need brokerage account statements showing when you bought and sold Seagate shares, how many shares you held, and the prices paid. Your broker can provide these records if you don't have them on hand.
