Reached its target in 61 days.
The thesis — published July 30, 2025
The stock fell 9% and now sits near its recent average price, a spot that sparked 14% rebounds before. The overall market is hitting records and a key rival says chip-equipment demand may be turning up. Upcoming US chip-factory grants and AMAT’s 15 Aug results, which Wall St. may be under-estimating, could lift the share price back to $208 within three months.
Primary drivers
- Past rallies began at this price level, hinting at another quick bounce.
- US chip grants may boost spending on AMAT’s tools this quarter.
- Next earnings could beat low expectations and raise full-year outlook.
- AI chip demand keeps AMAT’s machines in steady long-term need.
