Overview
- Applied Materials is set to report fiscal first‑quarter results after today’s market close.
- Management guided quarterly revenue to about $6.85 billion, including roughly $5.03 billion from Semiconductor Systems and $1.52 billion from Applied Global Services.
- Visible Alpha consensus ahead of the release estimates adjusted EPS at $2.21 and revenue near $6.89 billion, indicating a slight year‑over‑year decline.
- Options pricing implies an expected move of about 6% in either direction as traders position for the results.
- Analysts remain broadly positive with recent target hikes from UBS to $405 and B. Riley to $400, though export restrictions to China and stretched technicals pose near‑term risks.
