Donald Trump in power again will put America First
He will do this
Put up tariff against all other countries which export to Usa
And ask Us factories to relocate back to Usa
All others might be affected
Dudu is not one of them
Why?
Answer:
Dufu makes parts for Hdd drive which Seagate and Western Digital then assemble into Hard Disk Drive for sale to DC Centers worldwide
And this can only be done in places where there is vast land and low cost labour Assembling Hdd components is very laborious and need lots of Bangla (both Usa and China do not allow)
Market is like a lost sheep. Wherever it goes eveyone will follow. No doubts DUFU business in HDD expected to flourish, theoretically. However it all depends on the policy makers like Trump. At the moment Trump presidency will be bad for all tech stocks. A word of selfishness from TRUMP cause TSMC stock to plunge. Another criterion is DUFU ability to secure projects. If it lost to Notion or JCY, DUFU does not stand out. Revenues diminished or reduced. We cannot refer to history of DUFU but the future is NOW and not the past history. So by the way we are not excited about DUFU in all these scenarios.
Dufu s main production is HDD compared to Notion which has other products besides HDD , like ABS for cars, Camera Parts, Masks, etc. There is more movement at the Factory and it is busier than usual shipping out their plroducts. So, coming results will be a lot better.

This is Best News for DUFU (Dufu going to ride on Seagate boom time like never before!)
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX) (the “Company” or “Seagate”), a leading innovator of mass-capacity data storage, today reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 28, 2024.
“Seagate delivered robust financial performance for the June quarter amid an improving cloud demand environment, capping off a fiscal year of strong execution against our financial goals. Q4 revenue grew 18% year-over-year, non-GAAP gross margin expanded to nearly 31%, and non-GAAP EPS exceeded the high end of our guidance range,” said Dave Mosley, Seagate’s chief executive officer.
“In fiscal 2025, we are remaining focused on driving profitability and maintaining supply discipline while continuing to execute our mass capacity product roadmap, anchored by our HAMR technology. Our data storage solutions offer our cloud and enterprise customers with cost, power and space advantages that support their investments in critical AI and other data-driven initiatives,” Mosley concluded.

Seagate report Total revenues of HDD (91.5% of revenues) rose 25% year over year to $1.727 billion in the reported quarter. On a sequential basis, revenues were up 17%.
Systems, SSD & Other segment’s revenues (8.5%), including enterprise data solutions, cloud systems and solid-state drives, were $160 million, down 27% on a year-over-year basis and 10% sequentially.
Notion price will overtake Dufu in as short as 3 month's time. Next Qtr results Dufu's earnings will only be 50% of Notion as sure as the Sun rises from the East 😄
Seagate reported fourth-quarter earnings of S1.05 per share, compared with a loss of 18 cents per share a year ago, beating analysts’ estimates of 75 cents.
Revenue totaled $1.89 billion, up from $1.60 billion a year ago, and coming in ahead of Wall Street’s call for $1.87 billion in sales.
Looking ahead, Seagate said it expects first-quarter revenue of roughly $2.1 billion, compared with estimates of $1.88 billion. The company anticipates adjusted earnings of $1.40 per share, compared with 75 cents per share estimates
“Seagate commented that its nearline exabyte supply is committed through the end of the calendar year, resulting in extended product lead times and overall tighter supply conditions,” he said. “Management anticipates growth to continue in fiscal 2025 driven by both traditional cloud computing workloads, as well as new AI-related deployments.”
Seagate reported sales, gross margins, and operating profits significantly above expectations, aided by stronger-than-expected recovery in its cloud customers, which resulted in a shift to higher capacity drives and improved pricing, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
The firm said management's guidance suggests demand strength at cloud customers is expected to be sustained
"We attribute the underlying demand drivers to an increase from both traditional cloud computing workloads, as well as new AI-related deployments," he said. "While cloud service providers are continuing to build out that infrastructure, they increasingly focus on developing, deploying, and monetizing AI applications."
Mosley said this involves training large language models and expanding the entire hardware stack to support future generative AI content-driven growth.
While hard disk drive demand pull-through related to AI is still relatively small, Mosley said, "We believe HDDs will play a crucial role in enabling both of these phases of the AI adoption curve."
"By offering cost-efficient, scalable storage solutions, HDDs are ideal for maintaining the integrity of AI training data sets, as well as preserving the valuable content that AI engines are projected to generate in the future," he said
Mosely also discussed generative AI, which can generate text, images, videos, or other data using generative models, saying that “as GenAI engines mature, customers expect an acceleration in content creation that will lead to significant demand for mass capacity storage.”
“We recognize that GenAI is still in its early stages of adoption,” he said. “However, this customer feedback combined with our early engagements with nearline cloud and OEM customers reinforces our view that mass capacity storage will be a beneficiary in both the cloud and at the edge as the adoption of these new exciting applications takes hold.”
Seagate signaled that the disk drive sales slump is ending with a revenue increase for Q4 2024.
Revenues were up 18 percent annually to $1.89 billion, beating its $1.85 billion forecast, with a $513 million profit contrasting strongly with the $92 million loss a year ago. This growth was a turnaround after seven successive quarters of revenue decline
Western Digital Co. (NASDAQ:WDC – Free Report) – Research analysts at Wedbush raised their FY2024 earnings per share estimates for Western Digital in a research report issued on Monday, July 22nd. Wedbush analyst M. Bryson now anticipates that the data storage provider will post earnings of (-$0.86) per share for the year, up from their previous estimate of (-$1.36)
Wedbush also issued estimates for Western Digital’s Q4 2024 earnings at $1.46 EPS, Q1 2025 earnings at $2.10 EPS, Q2 2025 earnings at $3.34 EPS, Q3 2025 earnings at $3.48 EPS, Q4 2025 earnings at $3.83 EPS and FY2025 earnings at $12.76 EPS.
Remark: Western digital to release Q4 2024 report next week, 30 July
Everyone is waiting for the data centre play. Unfortunately, before hard disk can be purchase and fitted into the physical building, it may easily take 2-3 years for the main building, such as critical infrastructure (eg:power transmission, cooling system, network, certification,etc).
