July 26 (Reuters) - Seagate Technology (STX.O) forecast first-quarter revenue below market estimates on Wednesday on weakness in major market China and lower tech spending by businesses worried about an uncertain economy. The midpoint of that was below the analysts' estimate of $1.74 billion, according to Refinitiv data. The "performance reflected the uneven pace of economic recovery in China, cloud inventory digestion, and cautious enterprise spending amid the uncertain macroeconomic environment," CEO Dave Mosley said. In the quarter to June 30, Seagate's revenue sank by nearly 40% to $1.60 billion, missing estimates of $1.68 billion. The company's gross margin shrank to 19% from 28.9% a year ago as an oversupply of data storage equipment weighed on prices.

Computer storage company Seagate will pay a $300 million penalty for allegedly continuing an unauthorized $1.1 billion relationship with Chinese technology firm Huawei after the company was added to a U.S. trade blacklist in 2020. Seagate shipped over 7.4 million HDDs to Huawei from Aug. 2020 to Sept. 2021, federal regulators said. Neither Huawei nor Seagate made an apparent effort to hide their relationship, according to federal charging documents. Those lines of credit allowed Huawei to order an "increasing volume" of HDDs, federal regulators said, that Huawei wouldn't have been able to pay for otherwise. Even after export controls were imposed, a senior Seagate executive publicly justified the continued relationship with Huawei, regulators alleged.
