Investing.com -- Shares of Applied Materials fell 8.1% in mid-day trading to reach $457.46, touching an intraday low of $452.81, after the semiconductor equipment maker’s Investor Day at SEMICON West in San Francisco disappointed investors who had been counting on a clear wafer fabrication equipment spending forecast. The company explicitly declined to provide a WFE industry outlook, pointing to variables including available cleanroom space, supply-chain constraints, and energy infrastructure financing as factors clouding near-term visibility.

While management presented an ambitious multi-year roadmap — targeting more than two percentage points of WFE market share gains from 2025 to 2030, a non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 54%, and service revenue exceeding $12 billion by 2030 — investors focused on what was missing rather than what was offered. Concerns about a reported decline in Applied Materials’ WFE market share from 20.0% in 2024 to 17.9% in 2025 added to the unease, even as Evercore ISI reiterated its Outperform rating and $700 price target following the company’s $5 billion EPIC Center unveiling alongside partners including TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and Micron. CEO Gary Dickerson expressed confidence that AI-driven demand for computing power would continue to expand rapidly, but the absence of a firm near-term spending signal weighed heavily on sentiment.

The broader market offered little support, with the S&P 500 essentially flat and the Nasdaq modestly lower, while the Technology Equipment sector itself faced selling pressure. Applied Materials’ stock, trading at roughly 39–40 times forward earnings, carried a valuation that left minimal tolerance for any execution uncertainty, making the omission of a spending forecast particularly punishing.

Taken together, a bullish long-term AI narrative and a landmark R&D facility proved insufficient to offset investor frustration over the missing near-term spending outlook, sending shares to their steepest intraday decline in months and erasing a meaningful portion of the stock’s recent gains — with the stock now trading well below both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages.
