Seagate +4.8%; China gives green light to integrate Samsung unit
  • Shortly after giving Western Digital the go-ahead to integrate Hitachi's former hard drive unit with its core operations, China's Ministry of Commerce has given Seagate (NASDAQ: STX) approval to do the same with what used to be Samsung's hard drive unit (acquired in 2011).
  • The only remaining conditions: Seagate can't require customers to exclusively buy from the company, and TDK China can't be forced to sell hard drive heads exclusively to Seagate.
  • Among other things, integration enables Seagate to achieve greater manufacturing scale, remove duplicate functions, and jointly source components from suppliers. Shares are up sharply on a day the Nasdaq is up 1.4%.
  • Yesterday: Seagate makes CFO change
