Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT) shares were up 1.6% to $62 in midday trading.

Nomura raised it price target on the provider of materials engineering solutions used for chips and advanced display to $75 from a prior $68 and reiterated its Buy rating.

Nomura said it thinks AMAT will benefit from a cyclical rebound in global wafer-processing equipment sales in 2020, as well as from secular trends the firm said it thinks will drive superior growth over the next few years.
