Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT)
Walmart WMT spread optimism in the retail space by reporting robust third-quarter fiscal 2020 results. The mega retailer topped earnings estimates but fell shy of the consensus mark for revenues. Additionally, the company raised full-year forecast.
Earnings per share came in at $1.16, beating the Consensus Estimate by 7 cents. Also, the bottom line increased from the year-ago figure of $1.08. Revenues inched up 2.5% year over year to $128 billion but fell short of the estimated $129 billion. U.S. same-store sales grew 3.2% in the quarter. E-commerce sales jumped 41% driven by strong growth in online grocery.
Following the release, shares of WMT jumped as much as 3.6% on the day to hit new high of $125.38 but fell 0.3% at the end of the trading session. The stock also crushed its average daily volume figures as nearly 22.25 million shares moved hands compared with 5.3 million on average.
Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT)
Applied Materials stock soared Friday after the
semiconductor equipment maker reported better-than-expected results for its
fiscal fourth quarter. The positive news drove shares of industry peers higher
as well.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company late Thursday said it
has seen a "healthy uptick in demand
for semiconductor equipment." The Applied Materials earnings report is
the latest sign that the chip gear segment is emerging from a downturn in the
chip cycle.
Applied Materials earned an adjusted 80 cents a share on
sales of $3.75 billion in the quarter ended Oct. 27. Analysts expected earnings
of 76 cents a share on sales of $3.68 billion. On a year-over-year basis,
earnings fell 6% while sales were roughly flat.
On the stock market Friday, Applied Materials stock jumped
9% to 62.06. In intraday trading, it notched a record high of 62.92.

An Important Note: That any suggestions for options trade considerations require investors/traders to use their own discretion as to when to enter or exit! As well, it is advisable to do further research and due diligence before executing your trade.
It is sometimes best to exit a trade, if there is already sufficient profit accrued, before an earnings report is presented. GREED can be the undoing of a nice profit!
