Are you waiting for AMAT's earnings report? Some things we're thinking about:
Applied Materials (AMAT) is going to report earnings on August 18. Here's a few things you should know about before the report drops.
Analyst opinions suggest Applied Materials will report an EPS (earnings per share) of $1.79, GAAP $1.76, Revenue of $6.27B. Over the last 90 days, analysts have lowered estimates twice.
If you're a AMAT bull you'll want to hear that the company beat the analysts' estimates and is set to grow in coming quarters. Just as important as the earnings report, is the company's future.
Grizzly bears possess a biting force of over 1200 PSI, which is enough to crush a bowling ball or an iron skillet. AMAT bears cannot do that, but they can listen for news that the company underperformed analysts' estimates for EPS, Revenues, or future guidance. They'll also want to build negative growth story that frames the company's future as one of deceleration or even decline in revenues over the following quarters.
If you haven't traded too many earnings reports, it's important to be aware that sometimes the majority of a stock's price movement can be caused by the analysts' estimates, rather than from the earnings report itself. As you see more of these, your ability to recognize one or the other will improve.
Shares of AMAT were trading at $99.66 as of August 10. Over the last 52-weeks, shares are down -40.2%. A larger percentage here can mean investors have a stronger bullish or bearish outlook on the stock.
