SANTA CLARA, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Applied Materials stock may gain momentum Wednesday on news that the company beat Wall Street's first-quarter estimates.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip equipment maker (AMAT) said net income from ongoing operations for the period was $42.5 million, or 11 cents a share, compared with $197.8 million, or 52 cents a share, a year earlier. The median estimate from analysts surveyed by First Call was 6 cents a share.

Revenue for the first-quarter was $742.5 million compared to $1.3 billion a year ago.

What am I missing here?
