$Applied Materials(AMAT)$ $KLA-Tencor(KLAC)$ $Lam Research(LRCX)$ 

๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿšจ $AMAT is crashing after hours despite a Q4 double beat, revenue $6.8B and EPS $2.17 ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ”ฅ. Semi equipment sentiment remains brutal with China export pressure ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ, demand softness, and clear lag versus $KLAC and $LRCX โš ๏ธ. Q1 guide was slightly better, but not enough to pull in momentum buyers or reverse the slide ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ’ฅ!

    wild move for real. the beat was clean and buyers did not show up. total mood shift. semi gear is acting like a quiet rocket that flipped upside down today. watching the way $LRCX holds up because that tells you where confidence is flowing. this setup is intense ๐Ÿงƒ

      Q, your read on confidence rotation is on point. The LRCX comparison tells the real story about where institutional weight is shifting.

    honestly this reaction surprised me because the numbers were good but the mood is rough right now. you can see how fast anything tied to China gets hit ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ. kinda feels like the market is tired of semi equipment names for the moment. Iโ€™m looking at $KLAC just to compare the tone
    • Queengirlypops:ย 
      Sis you nailed it. the whole vibe flipped in seconds. AMAT looked steady then China headlines smashed the mood ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ. this is the type of move that hits you mid scroll. KLAC really is holding cleaner and that tells the story. wild setup and Iโ€™m here for the chaos ๐Ÿงƒ

      KT, your point about the broader mood is real. The market is punishing anything with China exposure and this reaction fits that pattern.

    Iโ€™m reading the tape and the breakdown lines up with the broader equipment weakness. The relative underperformance versus $KLAC sends a strong message about where institutional confidence sits. Iโ€™m checking how $AMAT behaves around its recent support zones because the reaction could establish a new short term structure.

      HS, your focus on structure is spot on. The support zones you mentioned will define whether this becomes a contained repricing or a deeper reset.

    Iโ€™m looking at this setup and the reaction feels mechanical. The beat was real, but the market is signalling that export controls and cycle risk remain the dominant variables. When I compare it with $LRCX, I see a clear preference for tools with stronger China diversification. I want to see how pricing trends evolve before leaning toward any recovery scenarios. TJ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ“‰TJ, the crash here tells me sentiment is stretched. The numbers were fine, but the market wants a cleaner runway on geopolitics and that is not happening yet. Iโ€™m mapping this against $SOX trends to understand how deep the equipment reset might go. I will watch the next few sessions to see if volume spikes confirm exhaustion or continuation.

      CCW, your read on diversification is sharp. The relative strength spread versus LRCX is exactly what institutions are reacting to and it explains the velocity of the move.

      TJ, you nailed the geopolitical overhang. The fundamentals were solid, but buyers need clarity on export policy before shifting tone.

    I see what you mean about the mismatch between the beat and the price action. This is a classic example of fundamentals being overshadowed by macro risk. The China exposure is front and centre, and when I compare it with $ASML, the sentiment gap becomes clearer. I plan to track the balance between retail volume and institutional flows.
