Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO)

Cisco Systems reported earnings and revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 that topped estimates, but the company's outlook fell short of Wall Street targets. The Cisco earnings news sent shares in the computer networking giant tumbling on Thursday.

Cisco late Wednesday said adjusted earnings were 84 cents a share, with revenue rising 2% to $13.2 billion. A year earlier, Cisco earnings were 75 cents a share on sales of $13.07 billion.

Analysts expected Cisco earnings of 81 cents on sales of $13.09 billion for the period ended Oct. 31.

For the current October quarter, Cisco said it expects adjusted earnings of 76 cents. The company said it expects revenue to fall in a range of 3% to 5% from a year earlier. Analysts estimated earnings of 79 cents a share on sales of $12.77 billion, about 2.5% sales growth.

Cisco stock fell 7.3% to close at 44.91 on the day.

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.

Revenues of $3.01 billion beat the consensus mark by 3.9% but declined 5.2% year over year. However, the top line rose 16.9% sequentially.

AS ALWAYS THE DECISION IS YOURS!


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!


Best of Trading,
