10 Best Performing AI Stocks Over the Last 3 Years

6. Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) 

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) is one of the best performing AI stocks over the last 3 years, with a 3Y CAGR of 151%. On July 1, Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan reiterated a Buy rating and raised his price target to $1,150 from $1,000. Mohan’s thesis pointed to improving fundamentals, sustained cloud demand and greater discipline in adding hard-drive capacity. He also highlighted build-to-order contracts that support measured price increases, along with the transition to higher-capacity heat-assisted magnetic recording drives.

Those factors could improve revenue visibility, margins, and free cash flow if customer demand remains firm. The AI link is primarily storage economics: training and inference create large datasets that cloud operators must retain at scale, where high-capacity hard drives remain cost-effective. The principal risk is cyclical. Strong pricing can encourage future supply, while customers can pause purchases after capacity additions. The current analyst case rests on disciplined industry behavior and a durable data-center demand cycle, not demand alone.

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) develops mass-capacity data-storage products and systems, including hard disk drives and enterprise storage used by cloud, edge, consumer, and AI data-center customers.
