Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) posted its latest earnings report on Nov. 17. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, which ended on Oct. 30, the semiconductor equipment maker's revenue rose 10% year over year to $6.75 billion, beating analysts' estimates by $310 million. Its adjusted EPS rose 5% to $2.03 and cleared the consensus forecast by $0.29.

Could it recover in fiscal 2023 as the industry gradually stabilizes?
