Semiconductors and Semi Equipment
We attended the Maydan Technology Center (MTC) tour and investor event yesterday hosted by AMAT in conjunction with Semicon. We came away more bullish on AMAT (Buy, $45 PT) prospects both near term (2H17) and medium term (2018/2019). AMAT’s commentary on WFE spending bodes well for the entire group while company specific initiatives including continued share gains in its core silicon segment should enable the stock to propel even higher from current levels. Our key takeaways are as follows:Applied Materials provides manufacturing equipment, services and software to the semiconductor, display and related industries. The company's segments are: Semiconductor Systems, which develops, manufactures and sells a range of manufacturing equipment used to fabricate semiconductor chips; Applied Global Services, which provides integrated solutions to support equipment and fab performance and productivity; and Display and Adjacent Markets, which is comprised of products for manufacturing liquid crystal displays, organic light-emitting diodes and other display technologies for TVs, monitors, laptops, personal computers, electronic tablets, smart phones, and other consumer-oriented devices.
