After the Bell: Applied Materials and Cisco Both Beat Estimates

Applied Materials and Cisco topped earnings estimates after Thursday's close, while Apollo Global Management led S&P 500 after-hours gains and Mettler Toledo fell.

Applied Materials and Cisco both topped Wall Street's earnings and revenue estimates after Thursday's close, though neither stock moved much in after-hours trading. Among the broader S&P 500, Apollo Global Management posted the biggest after-hours gain, while Mettler Toledo saw the sharpest after-hours decline.

Earnings after the bell

Applied Materials reported earnings per share (EPS) of $4.16, ahead of the $4.06 estimate, on revenue of $10.41 billion versus an expected $10.30 billion, a beat on both counts. The Wall Street Journal reported that the company's sales and profit climbed on semiconductor demand. Shares rose 0.65% after hours.

Cisco posted EPS of $1.40, above the $1.33 estimate, with revenue of $18.50 billion versus an expected $18.12 billion, also a beat on both measures. CNBC reported that Cisco's revenue climbed 24% from a year earlier and that the company raised its outlook for artificial intelligence infrastructure revenue from large cloud customers to $9 billion for the fiscal year. Despite the beat, Cisco shares slipped 0.35% after hours in the facts tracked here, even as CNBC separately described a sharper after-hours pop following the results.

Traders on X were discussing both reports, pointing to strength in networking and semiconductor equipment demand tied to artificial intelligence, though posts also described the stock reactions as muted or mixed.
