Applied Materials's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Applied Materials is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $45.00 short call and a strike $50.00 long call offers a potential 10.86% return on risk over the next 21 calendar days.

The full premium credit of $0.49 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.51 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $50.00 long call strike price.
