The semiconductor company,
Applied Materials (AMAT) has been experiencing a notable performance recently. Positive
market returns and a
surge in stock price have been driven by optimism in the semiconductor sector. Despite underwhelming third-quarter forecasts leading to a dip in shares, Applied Materials continues to outperform broader market gains. The company is also attracting investor attention due to its
earnings calls which have generally beaten estimates, along with its growth potential and promising future, signified by its stable revenue and increased earnings. Contrastingly, several shares of AMAT were sold by Zevenbergen Capital Investments LLC and FDx Advisors Inc., raising some questions. Furthermore, the company may postpone a
$4 billion California R&D facility which makes investors watch closely. However, with an 81% institutional backing, many still see AMAT a strong buy. On the downside, Applied Materials faced
subpoenas regarding China customer shipments and is currently under a US criminal probe for the same reason. Nonetheless, the company's plan to increase its dividend has placed it in a positive light.
