Applied Materials (AMAT)

Applied Materials (AMAT) is a global leader in semiconductor equipment sales.

For its second quarter, net sales increased 45% year-over-year to $3.55 billion, while pro-forma earnings per share (EPS) of 79 cents were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate and toward the higher end of the guided range.

After better-than-expected results and an updated guidance, the Zacks Consensus Estimates for FY 2017 and 2018 have increased to $3.10 per share and $3.28 per share, from $2.69 and $2.83 respectively, before the results. The company has beaten the estimates in 19 out of past 20 quarters. The stock is up about 44% this year but, due to expanding earnings, it is still trading at a reasonable forward PE of 14.88.
