Goldman Sachs Turns Bullish On CMC Materials, Bumps Up Price Target By 29%


27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


  • Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari upgraded CMC Materials Inc (NASDAQ:CCMPto Buy from Neutral with a price target of $192, up from $149, implying a 26% upside.
  • Improving prospects in the electronic materials segment, particularly in China, the company's ongoing pricing initiatives to offset inflationary pressures, and its "Future Forward" cost-optimization program should drive a positive re-rating of the stock Hari states. 
  • The analyst adds that CMC trades at a significant discount to peers. 
  • Further, with uncertainty surrounding the broader semiconductor cycle, the market will look favorably on names with recurring revenue streams, providing further support for CMC as over 80% of its revenue is generated in semiconductor materials consumed as long as semiconductor fabs are running.
  • CMC Materials stated that Scott D. Beamer has resigned as CFO on November 15. 
  • The company named Jeanette A. Press, Principal Accounting Officer and Controller, as its Interim CFO, effective immediately, while the company initiated a search for a permanent successor. 
  • Price Action: CCMP shares traded higher by 4.84% at $151.96 on the last check Monday.
