Applied Materials Acquires the Assets of Advent Solar - Zibb.com

Applied Materials, Inc., the leading supplier of equipment and services to the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry, announced today that it has acquired substantially all the assets, including the intellectual property, of Advent Solar, Inc. for an undisclosed cash amount. Advent Solar is a developer of advanced technology for crystalline silicon (c-Si) PVs. This acquisition is expected to complement Applied's portfolio of solar PV technologies and enhance its leadership in the c-Si equipment market.

Advent Solar has pioneered several innovations for producing c-Si cells and modules, including technology for streamlining module assembly processes and advanced efficiency device architectures. The company, founded in 2002, is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

"We believe the acquisition of Advent Solar will increase our opportunities to provide innovative solutions for reducing module production costs," said Dr. Mark Pinto, chief technology officer and general manager of Applied's Energy and Environmental Solutions Group. "Combining Advent Solar's PV technology with Applied's expertise in automated wafering and cell production equipment, we expect to deliver systems that will enhance customers' c-Si roadmaps and accelerate the reduction in cost per watt of solar electricity."

After the close of this transaction, Advent Solar's assets will be integrated with Applied's Energy and Environmental Solutions Group.

Applied Materials (AMAT) Showing Bearish Price Movement - Zibb.com

Applied Materials (NasdaqNM: AMAT) closed yesterday at $12.37. So far the stock has hit a 52-week low of $7.80 and 52-week high of $14.19. Applied Materials stock has been showing support around 10.94 and resistance in the 13.46 range. Technical indicators for the stock are Bearish and S&P gives AMAT a very positive 5 STAR (out of 5) strong buy rating. AMAT appears on the Investors Observer Analysts Favorites list. For a hedged play on this stock, look at an Apr '10 12 covered call (ANQ DN) for a net debit in the $10.97 area. That is also the break even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a 170 day duration, provides 11.32% downside protection and a 9.39% assigned return rate for a 20.16% annualized return rate (comparison purposes only). A lower cost hedged play for this stock would use a longer term call option in place of the covered call stock purchase. To use this strategy look at going long the AMAT Jan '11 7.50 Call (VPJ AU) and selling the Apr '10 12 call (ANQ DN) for a $4.10 debit. The trade has a 170 day life and would provide 6.22% downside protection and a 9.76% assigned return rate for a 21.00% annualized return rate (for comparison purposes only). Applied Materials has a current annual dividend yield of 1.86%.
