Shares of Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) exploded nearly 10% higher Thursday -- up 9.7% as of 12:35 p.m. ET -- after the maker of computer memory crushed analyst projections for fiscal Q2 2023 earnings last night. It's also quite a comedown from the $2.23 per share in GAAP profits that Seagate earned in last year's Q2. On the plus side, the company said it generated positive free cash flow of $172 million in the second quarter, bringing its total year to date to $284 million in free cash flow.
