401(k) plans are among the most popular ways Americans save for retirement. They&#8217;re so widely used because they offer great benefits like tax advantages, employer match programs, and the ability to automatically deduct savings directly from your paycheck, making it easier to save consistently. For many, these plans are crucial to achieving a secure retirement.

</ul>
Understanding where you stand with your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39510803/average-401-k-balances-fall-short-across-all-ages-many-over-50-barely-have-enough-to-buy-a-new-c">401(k) savings</a> compared to where you should be can help you make necessary adjustments to meet your financial goals for retirement. It&#8217;s important to remember that the average or median account balances you often hear about might not directly apply to you. These figures can provide a benchmark, but the right savings target depends on your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/01/36745517/if-someone-has-a-500-000-401-k-and-plans-to-work-part-time-can-they-afford-to">personal goals, lifestyle, and retirement plans</a>.
Here's a breakdown of what most people have in their 401(k) by age compared to what experts suggest aiming for:
Under 25 Years Old: The average balance is around $5,236, with a median of $1,948. At this stage, the focus should be on saving anything you can, especially to take advantage of compound interest over time.
Ages 25-34: On average, balances grow to about $30,017, with a median of $11,357. Financial advisors often suggest aiming to have the equivalent of your annual salary saved by age 30.
Ages 35-44: The average 401(k) balance is $76,354, and the median is $28,318. By age 40, having three times your annual income saved is a recommended target to stay on track for a comfortable retirement.
Ages 45-54: People in this group have an average balance of $142,069 and a median of $48,301. By the time you hit 50, aiming for six times your annual income can set you up for a more secure retirement.&nbsp;
Ages 55-64: The average jumps to $207,874, with a median of $71,168. Financial guidance often suggests having at least eight times your annual salary saved by age 60.

Determining how much to contribute to your 401(k) each year depends on your unique financial situation and goals. A general guideline is to contribute 10% to 15% of your salary, including any employer contributions, starting around age 25.
While a 401(k) is a great retirement savings option, it might not be the only one you need. Depending on your income and situation, an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) could be a valuable addition to your retirement savings plan. IRAs offer tax advantages similar to 401(k)s and may have more investment flexibility.&nbsp;
Everyone's situation is unique. Although most Americans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39009115/rich-americans-say-they-need-4-million-to-retire-should-you-aim-for-this-too">feel they need nearly $1.5 million to retire</a>, some can do it far less while others might need much more.&nbsp;
If you're behind on your personal savings goal, it's not too late to make changes and boost those numbers. According to Forbes, "The reality is most people could be saving more." Although this may be questionable for some, others find they could truly be saving more.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Consider talking to a financial advisor</a> to create a personalized retirement savings plan. An advisor can also help you explore all the various retirement savings options.

Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) shares are trading lower by 7% to $228.61 during Wednesday&#8217;s session. Shares of several semiconductor stocks are trading lower amid reports President Biden is considering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39813495/why-key-apple-nvidia-supplier-tsmcs-shares-are-plunging-in-wednesdays-premarket">further China restrictions</a> and following Republican nominee Donald Trump's comments regarding the China-Taiwan standoff in an interview with Bloomberg. The sector may also be down following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39813829/asml-reports-q2-results-joins-spirit-airlines-and-other-big-stocks-moving-lower-in-wednesdays-pre-ma">soft guidance</a> from ASML.
Trump&#8217;s remarks regarding Taiwan&#8217;s dominant role in the U.S. chip industry and the outsourcing of manufacturing to Taiwan created concerns about potential political and economic instability. His comments suggested a possible shift in U.S. policy towards Taiwan, which could disrupt the semiconductor supply chain. 
This geopolitical tension can cause investors to fear disruptions in the supply chain and potential tariffs or sanctions, affecting companies like Applied Materials that supply equipment to chip manufacturers.
ASML, another significant player in the semiconductor equipment industry, issued a less-than-optimistic forecast. ASML&#8217;s cautious outlook suggests potential challenges in the semiconductor market, such as reduced demand or technological and production hurdles. 
This adds to the negative sentiment, impacting other companies in the industry, including Applied Materials.

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Applied Materials&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
AMAT has a 52-week high of $255.89 and a 52-week low of $129.21.

QUALCOMM Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday following a downgrade from HSBC. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: HSBC analyst Frank Lee downgraded Qualcomm from Buy to Hold and set a price target of&nbsp;$200 ahead of earnings due in about two weeks.
Qualcomm is set to report financial results after the market close on July 31. According to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, the company is expected to report earnings of $2.25 per share and revenue of $9.212 billion. 
Last quarter, Qualcomm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38563793/qualcomm-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-record-automotive-results-on-device-ai-growth#">beat analyst estimates</a> on the top and bottom lines and issued strong guidance for the third quarter. The company guided for revenue of $8.8 billion to $9.6 billion and earnings of $2.15 to $2.35 per share. 
&#8220;We are excited about our continued growth and diversification, including achieving our third consecutive quarter of record QCT Automotive revenues, upcoming launches with our Snapdragon X platforms, and enabling leading on-device AI capabilities across multiple product categories,"&nbsp;the company said at the time.

Qualcomm Stock Is Moving Lower Wednesday: What's Going On?

Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) is under pressure Wednesday after the investing giant warned it will need to become smaller in an effort to protect profitability. Analysts are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39815112/these-analysts-cut-their-forecasts-on-charles-schwab-after-q2-results">cutting estimates as a result</a>.
What To Know: Before the market open on Tuesday, Schwab reported second-quarter revenue of $4.69 billion, beating analyst estimates of $4.68 billion. The company also turned in adjusted earnings of 73 cents per share, beating estimates of 72 cents per share, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Following the print, JPMorgan analyst Kenneth Worthington cut the firm&#8217;s price target from $82 to $78 on lower 2025 adjusted earnings expectations. The analyst previously forecasted full-year earnings of $4.81 per share, but now anticipates $4.57 per share.
&#8220;While the headline results were largely in line, underlying trends across net new asset growth, interest earning assets, the lack of short-term funding paydown, and lingering (but improving) cash sorting were disappointing,&#8221; Worthington said in a note to clients. 
Furthermore, commentary on a vision for a smaller bank is likely fueling some of the selling pressure on shares as investors question management conviction, the analyst said, adding that the print was &#8220;sobering&#8221; on multiple fronts.
&#8220;The pace of short-term debt paydown and the timing of sustainable net new asset growth re-acceleration remain key variables for Schwab's return to normalization — and we are not yet seeing the light at the end of the tunnel here,&#8221; Worthington said.

Despite cutting estimates, the JPMorgan analyst still believes the path to recovery remains intact. Worthington highlighted positive commentary regarding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/19/11/14874156/schwab-td-ameritrade-confirm-26b-all-stock-merger">Ameritrade transaction</a> and noted that management maintained key medium-term targets around organic growth and net interest margin. 
Goldman Sachs also weighed in on Schwab following the lackluster report. Analyst Alexander Blostein<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings"> lowered the firm&#8217;s price target</a> from $75 to $71 and cut EPS estimates to reflect a slower pace of supplemental borrowing pay down and push out on capital returns.
The analyst highlighted elevated deposit outflows at the end of the quarter and an incremental uptick in short-term funding following elevated client engagement as reasons why he continues to believe Schwab remains on a &#8220;choppy path&#8221; to EPS growth. 
&#8220;We continue to think the upside remains largely dependent on sweep deposit stabilizing and eventually growing, with both magnitude and timing here remaining less certain. Until we see sustained growth in deposits, we think the restructuring of SCHW's securities portfolio is unlikely and timing of share repurchases will continue to get pushed out,&#8221; Blostein said in the note.
SCHW Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SCHW">Schwab shares</a> were down 6.20% at $63.25 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
