Two 4% Stock Drops Emerge Across Inconsistent AMAT and Metaplanet Coverage

The three cited reports converge on the scale of a market decline but diverge sharply on the underlying company and event. Blockonomi reports that Applied Materials shares fell 4.68% to $363.13 even as the semiconductor-equipment company posted record quarterly revenue of $10.41 billion. By contrast, Crypto Economy and Crypto.news focus on Metaplanet, whose shares dropped roughly 4% to about ¥219 in Tokyo trading.

Applied Materials generated $2.42 billion in shareholder returns during the fourth quarter through dividends and stock buybacks, according to Blockonomi. The outlet says quarterly revenue increased 53% year over year, while non-GAAP earnings per share rose 92% to $4.16 from $2.17 in the prior-year period. These operating and return figures provide the immediate context for the reported 4.68% share-price decline.

Crypto Economy describes Metaplanet's pullback as exceeding 4% during the November 13, 2026 session, while Crypto.news puts the decline at 4.37%. Both reports cite cumulative repurchases of 108.7 million shares. Crypto Economy adds that the shares were bought for approximately ¥28.27 billion, equivalent to about $108 million, while Crypto.news states that MSCI officially confirmed a November 30 index removal. The overlap between those two reports is limited to Metaplanet, its approximate price, the buyback share count and MSCI's action; the supplied material does not connect that story to Applied Materials.

The wider market data also shows a synchronized risk-off session, although no supplied source directly links the equity moves to crypto. The total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.37 trillion, and the overall market is broadly lower. Bitcoin trades at $68,360, down 4.28% over 24 hours and 10.01% over seven days, with a $1.37 trillion market capitalization. Its decline closely resembles the roughly 4% drops reported for both equities, but timing or causation cannot be established from the supplied summaries.

What to watch next is the market treatment of each company separately, rather than treating the three headlines as one event. For Metaplanet, Crypto.news identifies November 30 as the confirmed MSCI removal date, and the outstanding questions concern the implementation of the exclusion and any further share-price reaction. Applied Materials remains associated with record quarterly revenue, strong reported earnings growth and substantial shareholder returns despite its stock decline. In crypto, Bitcoin's negative 24-hour and seven-day performance, broad market weakness and a Fear & Greed reading of 13 provide the present risk context, without establishing why the cited stocks moved.
