Key risks include industry cyclicality and significant China exposure, but AMAT's broad portfolio and customer relationships help mitigate these uncertainties. Technical and valuation analysis suggests up to 50% upside by 2027, with reasonable EPS growth and potential for multiple expansion even without extreme optimism.
