The headliner is Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT), one of the best performing chip names of 2026 with a triple-digit rally of about 110%.
According to Benzinga Pro, the options market is pricing a 10.39% post-earnings move on the stock.
It is not even the biggest expected mover on the calendar.
Ten other companies worth more than $10 billion carry implied moves above 10%, and the list runs well beyond chips, into space, biotech and energy.
An implied move is the swing in either direction, up or down, that options traders are paying to hedge against ahead of a report. It measures expected volatility, not direction.
