Wall Street witnessed a positive momentum on Thursday as investor risk appetite remained resilient despite escalating geopolitical tensions in Europe. The market brushed off concerns following a Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian military facility overnight, which came in response to Ukrainian missile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42113449/natural-gas-prices-spike-to-over-1-year-highs-oil-surges-to-70-as-russia-fires-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-to-ukraine">attacks earlier this week. </a>

Small Caps Rally, Alphabet Plummets, Bitcoin Flirts With $100,000: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) launched the MAX OLED solution, a patented OLED pixel architecture and groundbreaking<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42109055/applied-materials-breakthrough-to-bring-oled-displays-to-tablets-pcs-and-tvs" rel="noreferrer noopener"> display manufacturing technology</a>.
This solution aims to bring the high-quality OLED displays found in premium smartphones to tablets, PCs, and eventually TVs.
OLED is the preferred display technology for top smartphone manufacturers due to its exceptional display quality, lightweight, flexible form factors, and durability.
However, scaling OLED display production for the larger glass panels used in tablets, PCs, and TVs has been a challenge—until now.
Applied&#8217;s MAX OLED solution simplifies the scaling of OLED manufacturing from Gen 6 to Gen 8 glass substrates, which are about twice as large, and beyond.
It also introduces a new method for depositing OLED materials, enhancing pixel brightness and resolution, reducing energy consumption, and extending the display&#8217;s lifespan.
The MAX OLED solution has generated strong customer interest, with repeat orders from several top display manufacturers.
Applied will also supply an alpha system to Samsung Display, a global leader in OLED and QD-OLED panels, for evaluation of this new technology.
Ross Young, Co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), said, &#8220;Applied Materials has developed a true breakthrough in OLED manufacturing technology that will enable better OLED displays at more attractive prices,&#8221;
&#8220;This technology has the potential to accelerate OLED adoption in a range of markets, from tablets and PCs to automobiles and micro-displays for AR/VR, creating a catalyst for the entire display industry.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Nasdaq Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXL#NASDAQ">FTXL</a>) and Pacer BlueStar Engineering the Future ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BULD#NASDAQ">BULD</a>).
Price Action: AMAT shares are up 0.90% at $172.03 at the last check Thursday.

Breaking New Ground In OLED: Applied Materials Unveils MAX OLED Solution For Bigger Displays

Applied Materials Introduces MAX OLED Solution, A Patented OLED Pixel Architecture And Revolutionary Display Manufacturing Technology

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian is cautioning against media oversimplification of the incoming administration&#8217;s proposed tariff strategies.
What Happened: In a recent statement on X, El-Erian highlighted the intricate nature of Trump&#8217;s tariff discussions, noting that the proposed economic policies encompass at least three complex economic stages influenced by multiple factors, including trade flows, corporate pricing strategies, and geopolitical considerations.
El-Erian&#8217;s core message remains clear: Trump&#8217;s tariff debate requires sophisticated, nuanced analysis that transcends simplistic narratives. &#8220;The issue is quite complex,&#8221; he emphasized, underscoring the need for comprehensive economic understanding beyond headline rhetoric.

Trump&#8217;s proposed economic blueprint, which includes a universal tariff of up to 20% on imports and potentially up to 60% on Chinese goods, has sparked intense economic debate. Tech investor Peter Thiel suggests these tariffs could significantly impact Chinese companies while causing minimal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">disruption to U.S. consumers</a>.

Why It Matters: Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle warns that Trump&#8217;s proposed universal tariff could push <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">inflation back to 3%</a>, potentially complicating Federal Reserve monetary strategies. 
The National Retail Federation estimates Trump&#8217;s tariff proposals could reduce annual consumer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">spending by $78 billion</a>.
Prominent business leaders have voiced concerns. Citadel LLC CEO Ken Griffin described Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs as a &#8220;long, slippery slope&#8221; that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42056528/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-of-slippery-slope-in-trumps-tariff-policies-sees-us-returning-to-the-business-of-business">could hamper U.S. global competitiveness</a>. 
Retailers like AutoZone and Columbia Sportswear have signaled potential price increases that would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41871407/trumps-tariffs-deportations-and-tax-cuts-may-push-prices-higher-experts-say-its-pretty-clear?utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=site&amp;nid=42027079">passed directly to consumers</a>.
"Tariffs would create a headwind to the performance of stocks with high international revenue exposure due to the risk of retaliatory tariffs and heightened geopolitical tensions," Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin stated.
Goldman Sachs noted that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39467825/us-election-and-tariff-prospects-set-to-threaten-internationally-exposed-stocks-gol">U.S. stocks with domestic sales focus outperformed</a> those with international exposure by 1 percentage point the day after Trump's election and by 4 pp in the following month but underperformed by 9 pp in the next 12 months.

Mohamed El-Erian Warns Against Simplistic Narratives As Trump Plans Aggressive Tariff Strategy: 'The Issue Is Quite Complex'

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) faces heightened scrutiny <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42055795/nvidia-shares-to-climb-over-140-levels-says-technical-analyst-ahead-of-q3-results-will-have-to-beat-street-expectations-for-the-trend-to-continue">ahead of its earnings</a> as technical challenges with its latest artificial intelligence chips and broader market pressures raise concerns, according to Mizuho analyst Jordan Klein.
What Happened: Klein, a longtime Nvidia bull, warned investors that the semiconductor giant&#8217;s shares are &#8220;modestly at risk&#8221; following reports of overheating issues in its new Blackwell systems, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/biggest-nvidia-bull-on-wall-street-warns-shares-are-modestly-at-risk-3728239?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> Investing.com. 
The timing is particularly sensitive given Nvidia&#8217;s recent ascent to become the world&#8217;s most valuable company, with a market capitalization of $3.482 trillion.
&#8220;There is just so much quant, passive, and fast momentum money swirling around in markets these days and I assume that style sells first, asks questions later,&#8221; Klein noted in his investor communication, highlighting the volatile nature of current market dynamics.

Why It Matters: The Blackwell chips, unveiled in March and promising 30 times faster performance than previous generations, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42028342/blackwell-backfires-nvidias-ai-chips-struggle-with-server-overheating-impacting-meta-microsoft-and-musks-xai-data-centers">reportedly encountered thermal issues</a> when installed in high-density server racks.
Major customers potentially affected include Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) subsidiary Google.
Nvidia has responded to the situation, with a spokesperson telling Reuters that &#8220;engineering iterations are normal and expected&#8221; while working with cloud service providers.
Despite these immediate challenges, Klein maintains his long-term optimistic outlook for Nvidia but cautions about near-term volatility, particularly from retail and momentum-driven investors who &#8220;purely react to headlines and initial stock moves.&#8221;
However, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer offered a contrasting view, suggesting the market&#8217;s reaction might be overdone. &#8220;Be skeptical about the negatives with Nvidia,&#8221; Cramer posted on X. He later <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/cramer-weighs-nvidia-after-blackwell-ai-chip-overheating-report.html">expanded</a> on CNBC, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m more inclined to think you&#8217;re getting a buying opportunity in Nvidia thanks to The Information publishing a story that may simply not be that.&#8221;

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Friday's Pre-Market Session

Risk aversion dominated Wall Street in the final session of the week, driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">sharp losses across major indices</a>.
Investors grappled with growing uncertainties surrounding the economic impacts of Donald Trump's policies and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">Federal Reserve&#8217;s next moves.</a>
Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks from the previous day weighed heavily on risk assets. Powell signaled no need to lower rates, citing the economy's resilience and emphasizing the importance of fully finishing the inflation jobs. 
Boston Fed President Susan Collins added to the uncertainty on Friday, stating she needs to see additional data before deciding on further rate cuts at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming policy meeting.
Expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut in December were significantly scaled back, with odds falling to 59%, down from 82% just a day earlier.
U.S. indices are poised to end the week in negative territory, as optimism fueled by Trump's win fizzled. Tech stocks were hit hardest, with the Nasdaq 100 plunging 2.5%, wiping out its post-election gains. 
Chipmakers tumbled across the board, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) reaching a 2-month low, as Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) released a disappointing outlook.
The surge in rate-cut uncertainty and broader economic concerns pushed the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) up by more than 17%, reflecting heightened market fear.
Treasury yields edged lower, indicating a flight to safe-haven bonds. The drop in yields supported the Japanese yen, which ended a four-day losing streak.
The U.S. dollar eased but remains on track for its seventh consecutive week of gains, marking its longest winning streak since September 2023.
Gold prices remained flat despite falling yields and a softer dollar, failing to act as a hedge in a turbulent session. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) defied the risk-off sentiment, rising 2.5% to $89,600 in a surprising show of strength.

TD Cowen Maintains Buy on Applied Mat, Lowers Price Target to $230

Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) shares tanked in morning trading on Friday, even after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41991276/applied-materials-shares-slip-despite-better-than-expected-q4-results">upbeat fiscal fourth-quarter earnings</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Needham On Applied Materials</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Charles Shi</a> maintained a Buy rating while reducing the price target from $240 to $225.
Applied Materials reported a "solid" beat for revenue and earnings, Shi said in a note. Following an unexpected decline in the previous quarter, the company's China revenues came in roughly flat at around $2.14 billion, "but still a meaningful step down" from the average run rate of $2.9 billion per quarter between the fourth quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2024, he added.
Management's forward guidance was underwhelming, indicating sequential growth of merely 1.5% in the fiscal first quarter, versus Street expectations of 4.5% growth, the analyst stated. "Over the longer term, management sees that WFE (wafer fabrication equipment) intensity, propped up by the strong China demand of 18% in 2023, could decline and normalize to around 15%," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Applied Materials</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/606da90a9e63ea00016f92d0/toshiya-hari">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/606da90a9e63ea00016f92d0/toshiya-hari">Toshiya Hari</a> reiterated a Buy rating while raising the price target from $228 to $230.
Applied Materials reported quarterly revenues of $7.05 billion, beating consensus by 1%, and non-GAAP gross margin of 47.5%, exceeding guidance by 10 basis points (bps), Hari said. Non-GAAP earnings came in at $2.32 per share, 6% higher than Street expectations, he added.
The company guided to fiscal first-quarter revenues to $7.15 billion, non-GAAP gross margins of 48.4% and non-GAAP earnings of $2.29 per share, the analyst stated. He notes the positives as the ongoing acceleration in Services revenue growth, healthy gross margin trajectory and consistent free cash flow generation.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan On Applied Materials</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f1c1bdefacff0001706787/harlan-sur">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f1c1bdefacff0001706787/harlan-sur">Harlan Sur</a> reaffirmed an Overweight rating while cutting the price target from $250 to $240.
Applied Materials reported strong quarterly results, driven by robust demand in advanced foundry/logic and DRAM/HBM as well as sustained strength in Services, Sur said. Revenues from China as a percentage of the sales mix declined to 30%, from 32% in previous quarter and 40% before that, he added.
Although the company's revenue growth projections came in slightly below consensus, they reflect "sustained strong spending in advanced foundry/logic, DRAM, growth in new technology inflections, and NAND uptick," the analyst stated. Spending declines in China indicate that Applied Materials' WFE growth in 2025 could be "at a slower lower pace versus prior expectation," he further wrote.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stifel On Applied Materials</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58c6ab8cb85e9300015f1add/brian-chin">Analyst Brian Chin</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $250.
Applied Materials' revenues grew 4% sequentially, beating consensus estimates, driven by "strength in semi systems and service/spares," Chin said. The company's first-quarter revenue and earnings guidance at the midpoint came in $7.15 billion and $2.29 per share, versus consensus of $7.24 billion and $2.27 per share, respectively, added.
Applied Materials said its performance in China could remain flat in the fiscal first quarter, the analyst stated. "Beyond that, management provided limited visibility aside from suggesting investment here could slow given some mixed signals/indicators across ICAPS markets," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Cantor Fitzgerald On Applied Materials</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6331beac10b15f0001b58380/c-j%20muse">Analyst C.J. Muse</a> maintained an Overweight rating and price target of $250.
Applied Material's gross margins were "a clear bright spot" in the quarterly earnings release, Muse said. Management suggested 48.0% gross margins "as the new underlying rate given focused improvements it has made across the business," he added.
"Commentary on WFE was limited though it is fairly clear that mgmt. expects WFE to grow in 2025 — though obviously the magnitude is uncertain," the analyst wrote. The Trump administration coming into power could be a "near-term overhang for the group," he further stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">KeyBanc Capital Markets On Applied Materials</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58933b2143eaaa0001698f54/meta-marshall">Analyst Steve Barger</a> reaffirmed a Sector Weight rating on the stock.
Applied Materials reported quarterly revenues and earnings ahead of consensus by 1% and 6%, respectively, Barger said. In the first-quarter guidance, earnings were 1% above the midpoint, while revenue was 1% below, he added.
"We think there were few surprises on the call with commentary that included an expectation for WFE growth in CY25 on accelerating industry trends, WFE intensity that could decrease over time, although staying in the mid-teens % range, and the common view that the industry will trend toward $1T in semiconductor sales by 2030," the analyst wrote.
AMAT Price Action: Shares of Applied Materials had declined by 8.54% to $170.17 at the time of publication on Friday.
