Applied Materials: Gate-All-Around! These are the 5 Biggest Drivers Pushing Them to the Front in the AI Leadership Race?
$50.00 — or $120.00 / yearApplied Materials is primed to excel as the semiconductor manufacturing landscape grows increasingly complex, driven by the skyrocketing demand for advanced AI chips and high-bandwidth memory. We've u pdated our estimates to reflect a more optimistic long-term growth outlook, as the company's robust fiscal third-quarter results and positive fourth-quarter guidance perfectly align with our expectations. This performance underscores Applied Materials’ strength in both cutting-edge digital chip production and the more established automotive and industrial sectors. The company’s strategic focus on developing technologies for AI, particularly in energy-efficient computing—crucial for scaling AI infrastructure—positions it well for the future. The ongoing transition to gate-all-around transistor technology is expanding both the market and Applied Materials’ share, while significant growth in advanced packaging technologies, driven by high-bandwidth memory and heterogeneous integration, is expected to double in the coming years. Applied Materials' extensive portfolio and its leadership in wafer fabrication equipment, complemented by a strong services business, enable it to access multiple revenue streams, providing a buffer against the industry’s inherent cyclicality.

Seagate: Short-Term Gains, Long-Term Questions—Can Their Pricing Power Endure in a Cyclical, Competitive Market?
$50.00 — or $120.00 / yearInitiative of Coverage: Seagate Technology Holdings plc engages in the provision of data storage technology and infrastructure solutions in Singapore, the United States, the Netherlands, and internati onally. Seagate Technology Holdings plc wrapped up fiscal 2024 on a high note, showing marked improvements in performance thanks to strong operational execution and favorable supply-demand conditions. The company posted a 14% increase in revenue from the previous quarter and an 18% jump compared to the same quarter last year, hitting $1.89 billion. This surge was mainly driven by high global demand for cloud services and solid performance in their hard disk drive (HDD) segment. Seagate's non-GAAP gross margin reached nearly 31%, with HDD margins at the upper end of their long-term targets, resulting in a non-GAAP EPS of $1.05, which exceeded the high end of their guidance. Their strategic focus on a build-to-order (BTO) approach has improved supply-demand predictability and optimized cash resources. Throughout fiscal 2024, Seagate saw a 64% increase in non-GAAP operating profit, sequential growth in free cash flow each quarter, and maintained healthy liquidity levels. Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, the company plans to leverage the improving demand environment and execute its mass capacity product roadmap. This includes completing qualifications for HAMR-based Mozaic 3+ products and ramping up high-volume production of 28-terabyte PMR and SMR product platform drives.
