AMAT 3Q10 results:

0.09$ EPS GAAP. EES (solar division) charges lowered EPS by 0.20$, which hopefully will be a "one time charge". 4Q10 EPS non-GAAP guidance: $0.28-0.32.

Backlog increased by $136 million to $3.13 billion.

rev 2.52B$, up from 2.30B$ last quarter. Expects 0-5% increase next quarter. That means 2010 revenue total of about 9.3B$, not quite as high as 2007's 9.7B$.

Stock buyback: 7.9M at $12.66 = 100M$ total. But total shares only decreased by 3.6M.

cash + investments: up to 3.63B$, almost $3/share.

Gross margin 34%, would have been 44% without the EES effect.

AMAT recently broke below its 12-14$ range. It will be very bearish, if it doesn't get back above $12 soon:
