Market Chatter: Semiconductor Stocks Fall After US-China Summit Ends Without Breakthrough

Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel (INTC) shares declined in Friday trading, while ASML (ASML) and STMicroelectronics (STM) also fell after a US-China summit ended without major semiconductor agreements, Yahoo Finance reported Friday.The pullback came after talks between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping failed to produce significant developments on semiconductor trade issues, despite investor expectations for progress on advanced chip sales to China, according to the report.Washington has authorized Nvidia to export H200 chips to China, though Beijing has not formally approved shipments, while US officials said semiconductors were not a central focus of the summit, the report added.Shares of Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Intel, ASML and STMicroelectronics were down 4.4%, 4.5%, 7.5%, 5.5% and 6.1%, respectively, in Friday trading.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Applied Materials Poised for Slight Quarterly Beat, Strong Outlook, RBC Says

Applied Materials (AMAT) is expected to post fiscal second-quarter results slightly above Wall Street's estimates and provide an upbeat third-quarter outlook amid robust dynamic random-access memory and high-bandwidth memory spending trends, RBC Capital Markets said in a note e-mailed Tuesday.The brokerage projects the semiconductor equipment maker's second-quarter adjusted earnings at $2.64 a share on revenue of $7.65 billion, saying it expects a "slight" beat. Analysts polled by FactSet are looking for non-GAAP EPS of $2.68 and sales of $7.68 billion."DRAM spending trends remain strong on the back of extreme supply tightness and secular HBM demand," RBC analyst Srini Pajjuri said in a note to clients. "We expect the trend to continue through the year as clean room space availability improves and from new greenfield projects in 2027."RBC expects Applied Materials to issue third-quarter guidance 5% to 10% ahead of consensus estimates of $2.89 for adjusted EPS and $8.1 billion in revenue. The brokerage said this would be in line with peers Lam Research (LRCX) and Tokyo Electron and better than those of ASML (ASML) and KLA (KLAC)."(Applied Materials') management typically doesn't offer explicit (wafer fabrication equipment, or WFE) projections, but previously guided for 20% growth in its systems business in (2026), which we believe is tracking ahead," Pajjuri said.RBC raised its price target on the Applied Materials stock to $500 from $430 while reiterating its outperform rating.The company's shares were down 5.8% in Tuesday afternoon trade. The stock has jumped 63% so far this year.Transition to gate all around -- a next-generation transistor architecture for smaller chips -- has been a "key driver" from the company, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's (TSM) adoption of back-side power is projected to be a tailwind in the second half of this year, RBC said."Looking ahead, we expect WFE to grow at a double-digit pace for the next (two to three) years driven by (generative artificial intelligence), extreme tightness in DRAM, and growing competition in advanced foundry," Pajjuri said.Applied Materials is scheduled to report its latest results Thursday.Price: $419.71, Change: $-23.91, Percent Change: -5.39%

ASML EUV Demand Outpacing Supply, Pointing to Strong Growth in 2027, RBC Says

ASML's (ASML) Q2 outlook fell short of consensus, but demand for extreme ultraviolet systems is exceeding supply and output forecasts, pointing to strong growth in 2027, RBC Capital Markets said Wednesday in a note.Q1 results exceeded Wall Street and RBC estimates, while management expects Q2 revenue of 8.7 billion euros ($10.24 billion) at the midpoint, above RBC's estimate of 8.5 billion euros but below consensus of 9.1 billion euros, according to the note.Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to 36 billion to 40 billion euros from 34 billion to 39 billion euros on strong AI demand. RBC lifted its 2026 and 2027 EPS estimates to 31.78 euros and 40.24 euros from 28.32 euros and 33.93 euros, respectively.Memory supply is expected to remain constrained beyond 2026 while EUV intensity is rising with the adoption of 1c/1-gamma nodes. The brokerage said it expects advanced Logic to rebound strongly in H2 and sees stronger competition at the leading edge as a structural positive.RBC maintained an outperform rating on ASML and raised the price target to $1,700 from $1,625.Price: $1424.56, Change: $-57.21, Percent Change: -3.86%

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Rating On Shares Of Asml Holding N.v.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our price target by USD42 to USD1,846, 40x our 2027 EPS view (USD46.14 using a USD/EUR XR of 1.18x), near peers but above ASML's five-year average (~29x) on substantial AI demand. We lift our 2026 EPS view EUR1.82 to EUR30.82 and raise 2027's EUR1.20 to EUR39.20. Encouragingly, management noted that its 2026 sales guidance (+4% vs its Q4 view) contemplates evolving export controls, implying to us that AI demand will offset potential MATCH Act headwinds. China contributed just 19% of Q1 sales (-1,700 bps Q/Q, -800 bps Y/Y), exhibiting reduced vulnerability to export control tightening as memory makers provide extra diversification (45% of sales from South Korea, +2,300 bps Q/Q). Rising EUV penetration and the ongoing memory shortage should further amplify this trend, driving significant upgrades activity in 2026. Strong order activity should materialize into higher sales in 2027 and beyond, supported by ASML's growing capacity plans, with low-NA EUV capacity set to double in 2027 vs 2025 levels.

Research Alert: Asml Beats And Raises On Impressive Memory Demand; China Exposure Down Sharply

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ASML posted Q1 2026 sales of EUR8.77B (+13% Y/Y), beating consensus EUR8.68B, with EPS of EUR7.15 (+19% Y/Y) surpassing consensus EUR6.62 by 8%. Gross margin of 53.0% hit the high end of guidance (51%-53%) as the high-margin Installed Base business outperformed expectations, likely helped by robust upgrade activity (which should continue). Memory contributed 51% of net system sales (vs. 30% in Q4) as demand continues strengthening, supported by AI demand, the ongoing memory shortage, and rising EUV penetration. 2026 revenue guidance was upped to ~EUR38B (+16.3%) from EUR36.5B, due to an improved non-EUV outlook despite elevated uncertainty. Management expects EUV capacity expansion to 60+ Low NA systems in 2026 (vs. ~50 in 2025) and 80+ by 2027, which we think provides a major growth lever beyond pricing/throughput progress that drove results in 2025. China exposure dropped meaningfully to 19% of Q1 sales (vs. 36% in Q4), while South Korea surged to 45% (vs. 22%), reflecting accelerating memory maker demand.

ASML Likely to Report Slight Beat in Q1, RBC Says

ASML (ASML) is expected to deliver a slight beat in Q1 and to sustain double-digit revenue momentum for the next two to three years on GenAI demand, RBC Capital Markets said in a Monday report. The results are due April 15.RBC analysts said they are modeling revenue of 8.7 billion euros ($10.3 billion) and EPS of 6.59 euros for the quarter, largely in line with market consensus."Tight DRAM supply, growing EUV intensity, and re-emergence ofadvanced Foundry competition are the other key tailwinds," the note said. EUV refers to extreme ultraviolet lithography systems.The report said wafer fab equipment demand has further strengthened in recent months, driven by tightness in Dynamic random-access memory and strong 3-nanometer wafer demand.While clean room is a bottleneck, the report said China is largely de-risked and offers near-term upside potential.RBC kept its outperform rating and a $1,625 price target.Price: $1516.47, Change: $+16.27, Percent Change: +1.08%
