Over on CAPS, fully 122 of the 139 All-Star members who have rated Seagate -- some 88% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include jdawg1847 and JTShideler, both of whom are ranked in the top 5% of our community.

Late last month, jdawg1847 ran down a few of the stock's bullish stats: "Largest maker of computer hard drives yields 10%, has a $9 book value and $2.5 per share in cash."

In a more recent pitch from just yesterday, JTShideler echoes that sentiment, tapping Seagate as a solid, cash-rich pick:

Picking Seagate as a longterm value play trying to juice my returns by picking stocks with low valuations, good financials and great dividends. I figure with a P/E of 2.6 and trading below book value, plenty of cash on hand, free cash flow and a nice 10% dividend yield I can afford to wait it out until Mr. Market comes back to his senses.
