Applied Materials (AMAT) saw a string of ups and downs reflected in diverse analyst opinions and market reactions.
Daiwa and
Rothschild & Co Redburn downgraded AMAT rating to neutral, due to lost potential in the stock along with a slower semiconductor demand. Contrastingly, firms like
Bernstein and
Cantor Fitzgerald have maintained a buy rating, holding optimistic outlooks. The downslide was majorly intensified by unstable macroeconomic conditions and export-license difficulties, specifically with the China market leading to a sharp dip in its shares. Further, the company faced a legal dispute over leaked trade secrets from Beijing E-Town. However, AMAT's financial strength amidst adversities was noted during Q3 2025 earnings, even after issuing weak guidance following a strong quarter. There were declines in outlook due to tariff risks, but some viewed the knee-jerk sell-off as a buying opportunity. The company has displayed resilience, with earnings surpassing estimates, indicating strong strategic positioning. Regardless of challenges faced due to geopolitical headwinds, AMAT has capitalized on advances in AI and memory, showcasing a bullish stance in its targeted markets while navigating macroeconomic uncertainties.
