Strong Demand for Services

The company has been efficiently delivering key enabling technology to logic and foundry customers, given well-differentiated products along with high market share. Service is an important part of Applied Materials’ portfolio that is likely to have aided the to-be-reported quarter.

The Applied Global Services (AGS) segment is expected to have performed well in the quarter to be reported, driven by improved device and yield performance.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from AGS for the fiscal fourth quarter is pegged at $959 million, indicating 3% year-over-year growth. The same for Semiconductor Systems Group is pegged at $2.25 billion, suggesting 1% year-over-year improvement for the to-be-reported quarter.

Strength in Display to Drive Revenues

The Display segment’s performance is expected to have been driven by significant opportunities, courtesy of investment in areas such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud infrastructure, Internet of Things, virtual reality and smart vehicles.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues for the quarter to be reported is pegged at $458 million, implying 35.1% year-over-year increase.

What Our Model Says

Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Applied Materials this time around. 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. That is not the case here as you will see below.

Earnings ESP: The company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Zacks Rank: Currently, Applied Materials has a Zacks Rank #3.

Stocks That Warrant a Look

Here are a few stocks worth considering, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to deliver an earnings beat in the upcoming releases.

Ignited by new referendums and legislation, this industry is expected to blast from an already robust $6.7 billion to $20.2 billion in 2021. Early investors stand to make a killing, but you have to be ready to act and know just where to look.
