Applied Materials is expected to report second-quarter results after the close. ABN AMRO analyst David Wu says he's expecting a reasonably good report from the company. The consensus estimate is for earnings per share of 27 cents, compared to 37 cents a year ago. But all eyes will be on the company's bookings. Wu says he expects the company to report $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion in bookings. Likewise, Merrill Lynch analyst Mark FitzGerald expects impressive results. "We estimate AMAT will report record or close to record bookings during its second quarter conference call," he said in a report. "Our current forecast calls for bookings between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion, greater than the previous record of $1.37 billion booked in the October 1997 quarter."
