Applied Materials Stock Tumbles 5% in Premarket TradingApplied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:AMAT) experienced a significant 5% drop in premarket trading on Friday, despite reporting first-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations. The decline was primarily driven by the company's flattish second-quarter guidance, which fell short of market expectations. Earnings and Revenue Performance Applied Materials reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.38 for the first quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $2.28. Revenue came in at $7.17 billion, slightly above the expected $7.15 billion and marking a 7% year-over-year increase. Despite these strong results, the company's guidance for the second quarter disappointed investors. AMAT forecasted revenue of $7.1 billion, plus or minus $400 million, below the $7.198 billion analysts anticipated. The projected adjusted EPS of $2.30, plus or minus $0.18, was also in line with the $2.29 consensus estimate but failed to excite the market. Segment Performance and Market Trends The company's Semiconductor Systems segment, which accounts for about 75% of total revenue, saw a 9% year-over-year increase to $5.36 billion. However, AMAT expects softness in its ICAPS segment, particularly in China, with a low-to-mid teens quarter-over-quarter decline. Analyst Sentiment Despite the disappointing guidance, analysts remain bullish on AMAT. Stifel analysts noted that the ICAPS/China decline is expected to moderate, and strength in leading-edge segments could support mid-to-upper single-digit year-over-year growth. They believe AMAT should not trade at a 3-5 turn forward discount to peers and recommend buying the shares. Mizuho analysts also shared a positive outlook, highlighting AMAT as the #1 global SemiCap Equipment supplier and a key technology enabler with strong AI spend tailwinds. Technical Analysis As of the time of writing, AMAT stock is down 5.2% in premarket trading. This significant drop has brought the stock to a critical technical juncture. Fibonacci Levels The 78.6% Fibonacci level is identified as a key support zone. In the case of an extreme pullback, this level could serve as a bounce zone for further gains. Conversely, the 38.2% Fibonacci level is acting as a resistance point. A break above this level could spark a bullish reversal, potentially leading to a recovery in the stock price. Conclusion Applied Materials' strong first-quarter performance was overshadowed by its cautious second-quarter guidance, leading to a significant premarket drop. However, the company's robust fundamentals and positive analyst sentiment suggest that the current weakness may be a buying opportunity. From a technical perspective, key Fibonacci levels provide critical support and resistance points that could dictate the stock's short-term trajectory.

LRCX in the same position and price AMAT was this time last yearLRCX following in the foot steps of AMAT to $295? AMAT also repeating the same move it made a year ago right now as well. Both are in the same field both are involved in the production of Ai processors and the tools to make them. I think its ironic that LRCX just happens to be in the same pattern on the same month AMAT started its nose bleed run up. Option shares right now are expensive for a $74 stock no matter how long or short you look. Somethings going on and the companies in the semiconductor industry know it. Nvidia and AMD prices right now are very inviting which means they had to reduce their prices either by splitting them or something but they must know that a boom is about to happen and they needed to make their prices in line with what is about to happen. I haven't looked at stock options in over a year and I was surprised to see everyones prices had gone up. Yet Semiconductors all seem to be price point. With the materials side looking Bullish as hell. I am just saying keep your eyes open on this because its about to happen all over the place.....a shift a huge shift. by iCantw84it 10.16.24

Semiconductor Bull Run: Is it OVER?AMD is experiencing a breakout from the falling wedge pattern, which is a bullish signal. Currently, the stock is above its immediate support zone and ended the last trading session with a bullish harami candle. Although sell pressure seems unlikely given the current levels, keep an eye on the medium-term support zone to reassess your trading strategy if needed. These levels are suitable for options trading and could result in excellent swing trades based on liquidity analysis. The price target is between $185 and $190, with the potential to reach $200 if the bullish momentum continues. Let's monitor how this develops.

AMAT possible BUY opportunityAfter successful GOOG and CRM buy, my eyes are on AMAT stock- Applied Materials INC. Company operating in Technology sector. Stock price is currently consolidating in a $110.16 to $125.65 price range, forming a valid price Box. Box in price stock has become well known from Nicholas Darvas epic book called "How I made $2.000.000 in the stock market". Things to consider: 1. This price range is good and the main reason for it is that the price is currently sitting above 200SMA on Daily level, and on Weekly as well. 2. Price is currently trying to break above 50SMA level on Daily, sitting at $116.52. If price manages to break the 50SMA level, I am consider buying couple of shares just to be in the game. 3. The best buy situation for me personally would be the break above price level sitting at $125.6 level and that will be my safe buy zone. 4. Of course, nothing is certain in markets, especially now, so my Stop Loss level will be sitting at $115.8 which is if you look at the chart now just below the 50SMA line on the Daily levels. 5. $125.6 price level is at the moment acting as big resistance level for the price, this is why I will consider the break above that level as safe buy zone. 6. If my order gets triggered I will be looking at $145.36 level as potential add to position/close with profit area. Depending on what the market does, my action will be following the overall market. Just for everyone's thoughts, this is not financial advice and I am not a financial advisor, please do your Due Diligence before investing your hard earned cash.

SOX is extended, could pull back to prior swing high at 2913 (-3.25%) where there is good support. Watch these tech stocks with earnings coming up next 10 days, all daily charts look bullish (except CSCO, which is debatable). All also have positive point & figure price targets (from Stockcharts.com). ADI (2/15), ADSK (2/13), AMAT(2/16), ANET (2/13), CDNS (2/13), CSCO(2/15), KEYS (2/21), NVDA(2/22).
