Intra-day, Goldman Sachs upgraded Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) from Buy to Conviction Buy saying Bob Halliday significant positive for the company given his strong track record.
"We view Mr. Halliday, together with Mr. Dickerson (prior CEO of Varian), as key to the company's success in growing implant share from 30% in 2004 to 70% in 2011, when Applied acquired Varian at a 50%+ premium," the analyst said. "We believe Mr. Halliday’s track record and prior success bodes well for Applied's ability to execute on a more streamlined cost structure and potential share gain in SPE."
