The CEO explicitly said building new factories takes too long, implying a supply bottleneck that benefits existing capacity Market sold off on the news, but the author believes the reaction is inverted; a contrarian long could capture a mean reversion Short-term bounce play on a potentially overdone sell-off in STX driven by misunderstood supply dynamics Broader tech weakness, deeper macroeconomic headwinds, or specific company fundamentals not addressed in the post
