SELL
Applied Materials
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.

TOP PICK
Applied Materials
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate AMAT, a bell-weather semiconductor maker, as a TOP PICK. Now trading at 14x earnings, compared to peers at 20x, it remains good value here, supporting a 57% ROE. Analysts expect earnings growth over 8% this year and 13% next. We recommend trailing up the stop loss (from $80) to $82, looking to achieve $146 - upside potential over 40%. Yield 1% (Analysts’ price target is $146.04)

TOP PICK
Applied Materials
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Always the bell-weather indicator of the semiconductor makers, we now select AMAT as a TOP PICK. No surprise that earnings just fell short of expectation, given the supply chain issues and recent lockdowns in Asia. Management has revised down their forward guidance and the market has given the stock an appropriate hair cut. Now trading at 13x earnings, compared to peers at 20x, it is good value here. We would trade this with a stop loss at $80, looking to achieve $155 - upside potential over 59%. Yield 1.2% (Analysts’ price target is $154.81)
