Earnings beat, but sold it last week. She sold because she thinks earnings are probably peaking. She bought this at $16 in 2013 and has trimmed along the way and rode it to peaks. At $100 and 14x PE, it was probably at a peak, so she pulled the trigger. 14x is the historic PE. It's fully-valued. can't see multiple expansion. But she will likely re-buy this 20% down.

Just sold it. A stock either needs a reason for PE expansion or earnings growth ahead. AMAT is likely at peak earnings now, and trading at 14x which is exactly its historical average. Earnings in this sector are cyclical. She can't see multiple expansion. AMAT is fully valued.
