What the analyst said
Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Stacy Rasgon lowered the price target on Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) to $600 (from $700) while maintaining an Outperform rating.
“Assuming AI spending continues, we still like WFE as a good place to play the theme from. And we continue to like AMAT’s place in that call. Raising estimates, though lowering multiple from 33x to 24x given the current environment; PT to $600 vs $700 prior (24x vs 33x prior, on FY28 EPS of $25.07). We rate AMAT Outperform.”
