Applied Materials Before Q3 Earnings: How to Play the Stock

Zacks

Applied Materials AMAT is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Aug. 14.

For the fiscal third quarter, AMAT expects net sales of $7.2 billion (+/-$400 million). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $7.2 billion, suggesting a rise of 6.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reading.

Applied Materials projects non-GAAP earnings of $2.35 (+/-$0.20) per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.34 per share, indicating growth of 10.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The figure has remained unchanged in the past 60 days.

AMAT has an impressive earnings surprise history. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 3.5%. Its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 4.9%.

Earnings Whispers for Applied Materials

Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Applied Materials this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

AMAT carries a Zacks Rank #2 and has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Factors to Note Ahead of Applied Materials’ Q3 Results

Applied Materials is at the forefront of leading-edge logic, compute memory or high-performance DRAM, stacking technology and advanced packaging. AMAT’s positioning in key processes of chip manufacturing is expected to aid the company in capitalizing on the growing proliferation of AI, hyperscale and high-performance computing space.

Rising demand for advanced semiconductor chips that power AI-based data centers is expected to have contributed to the third quarter of fiscal 2025 results of the company. Its strong capabilities in logic and solid position in DRAM patterning are likely to have acted as boons.

AMAT’s patterning systems and technologies that are designed to address the shrinking pattern dimension challenges and the growing complexity in vertical stacking are likely to have benefited the segment. Applied Materials’ manufacturing equipment, which helps improve the performance, power, yield and costs of semiconductor devices that serve the IoT, communications, automotive, power and sensors markets, is likely to have contributed well to the top-line growth of the segment.

However, escalating tensions between the United States and China do not bode well for semiconductor companies. This is likely to have hindered the top-line growth of the segment. Changes in the spending patterns of key customers and supply-chain constraints are likely to have been other headwinds. Weak spending in the LCD equipment market is likely to have hurt Applied Materials’ Display and Adjacent Markets segment sales in the to-be-reported quarter.

Applied Materials’ Price Performance & Valuation

Applied Materials shares have gained 13.6% year to date, underperforming the Zacks Electronics – Semiconductors industry, which has gained 19.7% over the same time frame.

AMAT YTD Performance Chart

Let us now look at the value Applied Materials offers to its investors at current levels. AMAT is currently trading at a discount with a forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) of 18.79X compared with the industry’s 25.55X.

Investment Thesis on Applied Materials

Applied Materials’ business continues to be on a growth trajectory with significant design wins. It is well-positioned to capitalize on the technology-inflection-led growing demand for next-generation chips on the back of its product innovations and leadership in leading-edge logic, compute memory, high bandwidth memory and advanced packaging.

However, Applied Materials faces near-term challenges that could impact its stock. The U.S.-China trade tensions, particularly the restrictions on high-tech exports to China, have created uncertainties for companies operating in the semiconductor industry. Competition from players like KLA Corporation KLAC, Lam Research LRCX and ASML Holdings ASML in the semiconductor supply chain market is also a concern for AMAT.

Lam Research’s memory segment, accounting for both Dynamic Random Access Memory and Non-Volatile Memory divisions, is gaining traction on the back of AI. Lam Research’s memory and Non-Volatile Memory division’s sales are gaining traction. The rising demand for AI chips is also ramping up the demand for advanced process control and process-enabling solutions provided by KLA Corporation.

KLAC’s advanced packaging solutions are also experiencing robust traction on the back of AI and high-performance computing. ASML Holding’s DRAM and logic customers are driving the demand for its products. These customers are ramping leading-edge nodes using ASML’s NXE:3800E EUV systems. Additionally, ASML noted that multiple DRAM customers are adopting EUV lithography, which helps in shortening cycle time and lowering costs.

Conclusion: Buy AMAT Stock Right Now

Although our model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Applied Materials this quarter, its strong fundamentals and favorable valuation make the stock worth investing in at present, despite facing competition from KLAC, ASML and LRCX.

Stocks Settle Lower as US Service Sector Activity Weakens

Barchart

Vertex Pharmaceuticals

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) Tuesday closed down -0.49%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -0.14%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -0.73%. September E-mini S&P futures (ESU25) fell -0.46%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU25) fell -0.71%.

Stock indexes gave up an early advance on Tuesday and turned lower on some disappointing news on US services activity, along with signs of sticky price pressures in the service sector. The US Jul ISM services index unexpectedly fell -0.7 to 50.1, weaker than expectations of an increase to 51.5. Also, the Jul ISM services prices paid sub-index unexpectedly rose +2.4 to a 2.75-year high of 69.9, versus expectations of a decline to 66.5.

More News from Barchart

Stocks initially opened higher Tuesday on strength in technology stocks, led by a +7% jump in Palantir Technologies after it reported stronger-than-expected profits and raised its full-year forecasts. Stocks have continued support from speculation that last Friday's dismal payroll and ISM manufacturing reports will prompt the Fed to cut interest rates. The chances of a Fed rate cut at the September FOMC meeting rose to 94% from 40% before the reports were released.

The US trade deficit for June was smaller than expected, a positive factor for Q2 GDP. The June US trade deficit shrank to -$60.2 billion from -$71.7 billion in May, better than expectations of -$61.0 billion and the smallest deficit in 1.75 years.

Dovish comments late Monday from San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly were supportive for stocks when she said the time is nearing for Fed interest rate cuts, given mounting evidence that the job market is softening and there are no signs of persistent tariff-driven inflation.

In recent tariff news, President Trump said Monday that he would be "substantially raising" the tariff on US imports from India from the current 25% due to India's purchases of Russian oil. Last Thursday, President Trump raised tariffs on some Canadian goods to 35% from 25% and announced a 10% global minimum, along with tariffs of 15% or higher for countries with trade surpluses with the US, effective after midnight on August 7. According to Bloomberg Economics, the average US tariff will rise to 15.2% if rates are implemented as announced, up from 13.3% earlier, and significantly higher than the 2.3% in 2024 before the tariffs were announced.

The markets this week will focus on earnings reports and any fresh tariff or trade news. On Thursday, weekly initial unemployment claims are expected to increase by +3,000 to 221,000. Also on Thursday, Q2 nonfarm productivity is expected to be +2.0% with unit labor costs rising +1.5%.

Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 94% at the September 16-17 FOMC meeting and 62% at the following meeting on October 28-29.

Q2 earnings reports released thus far suggest that S&P 500 earnings are on track to rise +9.1% for the second quarter, much better than the pre-season expectations of +2.8% y/y and the most in four years, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. With over 67% of S&P 500 firms having reported Q2 earnings, around 83% exceeded profit estimates.

Overseas stock markets on Tuesday settled higher. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up by +0.14%. China's Shanghai Composite closed up +0.96%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed up +0.64%.

Interest Rates

September 10-year T-notes (ZNU25) Tuesday closed down -2.5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield rose by +1.0 bp to 4.202%. Sep T-notes fell from a 3-month high Tuesday and posted modest losses, and the 10-year T-note yield moved up from a 3-month low of 4.183%.

Supply pressures are weighing on T-notes as the Treasury will auction $125 billion of T-notes and T-bonds in this week's August quarterly refunding. Also, signs of price pressures in the US service sector are bearish for T-notes after the July ISM services prices paid sub-index unexpectedly rose +2.4 to a 2.75-year high of 69.9. T-notes remained lower Tuesday on weak demand seen for the Treasury's $58 billion auction of 3-year T-notes that had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.53, below he 10-auction average of 2.58.

Losses in T-notes were limited after the Jul ISM services index unexpectedly declined. T-notes found support from dovish comments late Monday from San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, who said the time is nearing for Fed interest rate cuts given labor market weakness and no signs of tariff inflation. T-notes also have positive carryover support from last Friday's weaker-than-expected payroll and ISM manufacturing reports, which boosted the chance of a Fed rate cut at next month's FOMC meeting to 92% from 40% before the reports.

European government bond yields on Tuesday were mixed. The 10-year German bund yield fell to a 1.5-week low of 2.601% and finished unchanged at 2.624%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rebounded from a 1-month low of 4.496% and finished up +0.8 bp to 4.516%.

The Eurozone July S&P composite PMI was revised downward by -0.1 to 50.9 from the previously reported 51.0.

The UK July S&P composite PMI was revised upward by +0.5 to 51.5 from the previously reported 51.0.

Swaps are discounting the chances at 16% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the September 11 policy meeting.

US Stock Movers

TransDigm Group (TDG) closed down more than -12% after reporting Q3 net sales of $2.24 billion, weaker than the consensus of $2.30 billion, and lowered its full-year net sales forecast to $8.76 billion-$8.82 billion from a previous forecast of $8.75 billion-$8.95 billion.

Health insurance companies rallied Tuesday after Wolfe Research published a note that said thresholds for private Medicare Advantage plans to earn bonus payments may get easier next year. As a result, UnitedHealth Group (UNH) closed up more than +4% to lead gainers in the Dow Jones Industrials. Also, CVS Health (CVS) closed up more than +3%, Humana (HUM) closed up more than +2% and Cigna Group (CI) closed up more than +1%.

Broadridge Financial Solutions (BR) closed up more than +6% after reporting Q4 adjusted EPS of $3.55, stronger than the consensus of $3.50.

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is up +0.90%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) is up +0.77%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +1.28%. September E-mini S&P futures (ESU25) are up +0.95%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU25) are up +1.36%.

Stock indexes are moving higher today as they recover from some of last Friday's sharp losses. Strength in the Magnificent Seven technology stocks and semiconductor chip makers is supporting the broader market. Additionally, the expectation that last Friday's dismal payroll and ISM manufacturing reports will prompt the Fed to lower interest rates is underpinning equity prices. The chances of a Fed rate cut at the September FOMC meeting rose to 90% from 40% before the reports were released.

More News from Barchart

In the latest tariff news, President Trump last Thursday raised tariffs on some Canadian goods to 35% from 25% and announced a 10% global minimum, along with tariffs of 15% or higher for countries with trade surpluses with the US, effective after midnight on August 7. According to Bloomberg Economics, the average US tariff will rise to 15.2% if rates are implemented as announced, up from 13.3% earlier, and significantly higher than the 2.3% in 2024 before the tariffs were announced.

The markets this week will focus on earnings reports and any fresh tariff or trade news. Later this morning, Jun factory orders are expected to fall -4.8% m/m. On Tuesday, the June trade deficit is expected to narrow to -$61.3 billion. Also on Tuesday, the July ISM services index is expected to climb by +0.7 to 51.5. On Thursday, weekly initial unemployment claims are expected to increase by +3,000 to 221,000. Also on Thursday, Q2 nonfarm productivity is expected to be +2.0% with unit labor costs rising +1.5%.

Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 90% at the September 16-17 FOMC meeting and 76% at the following meeting on October 28-29.

Early results show that S&P 500 earnings are on track to rise +4.5% for the second quarter, better than the pre-season expectations of +2.8% y/y, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. With over 66% of S&P 500 firms having reported Q2 earnings, around 82% exceeded profit estimates.

Overseas stock markets today are mixed. The Euro Stoxx 50 is up sharply by +1.35%. China's Shanghai Composite rebounded from a 2-week low and closed up +0.66%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 fell to a 1.5-week low and closed down -1.25%.

Interest Rates

September 10-year T-notes (ZNU25) today are up +4 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is down -1.4 bp to 4.202%. Sep T-notes today recovered from overnight losses and rallied to a 3-month nearest-futures high, and the 10-year T-note yield fell to a 1-month low of 4.196%. T-notes are climbing on positive carryover from last Friday's weaker-than-expected payroll and ISM manufacturing reports, which boosted the chance of a Fed rate cut at next month's FOMC meeting to 90% from 40% before the reports. Also, today's -2% drop in WTI crude oil prices has reduced inflation expectations, a bullish factor for T-notes. In addition, today's strength in European government bonds is providing carryover support to T-notes.

Gains in T-notes are limited by a rebound in equity markets, which curbs safe-haven demand for government securities. Also, supply pressures are weighing on T-notes as the Treasury will auction $125 billion of T-notes and T-bonds in this week's August quarterly refunding, beginning with Tuesday's $58 billion auction of 3-year T-notes.

European government bond yields today are moving lower. The 10-year German bund yield fell to a 1.5-week low of 2.638% and is down -3.5 bp to 2.643%. The 10-year UK gilt yield dropped to a 1-month low of 4.502% and is down -1.6 bp to 4.512%.

The Eurozone Aug Sentix investor confidence index unexpectedly fell -8.2 to -3.7, weaker than expectations of an increase to 6.9.
