Applied Materials was upgraded to "Outperform" from "Neutral" by Mizuho on Wednesday, as the firm pointed to a sharp recovery in capital spending on semiconductors and improved demand across foundry and logic customers.
Analyst Vijay Rakesh raised the price target for the stock to $370 from $275, stating that the company is poised to benefit from a "significant acceleration" in spending on wafer fab equipment (WFE) through 2027.

The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), an association of the largest stock exchanges in the world, sent a letter to key regulators – the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO). In the document, the WFE calls for stricter regulation of tokenized shares, which they believe pose new risks to investors and undermine market integrity.
