Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openApplied Materials (AMAT) is seeing increased demand for its chipmaking equipment from AI-related semiconductor investment, particularly in advanced packaging, DRAM memory, and HBM (high-bandwidth memory chips used alongside AI processors), as global spending on new fabs (semiconductor factories) accelerates.
Applied Materials shares fell 14% over the month of August, even though the company reported a record quarter and told investors to expect profits above what Wall Street analysts had projected.
Applied Materials reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of about $9.1 billion and profit of $2.5 billion, and said fourth-quarter revenue should reach about $10.25 billion. The company pointed to record demand visibility driven by AI-related chip investments, more than ten new fab projects signed in the quarter, and a $5 billion commitment to its EPIC Center for equipment co-innovation.
Applied Materials has appointed Akash Palkhiwala, the CFO and COO of Qualcomm, to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee, adding senior finance and operations experience from a major chipmaker.
Applied Materials reported its biggest quarter-over-quarter revenue jump ever, with sales of $9.12 billion (up 25% from a year earlier) and earnings of $3.50 per share excluding one-off costs (up 41%). Demand for advanced chips is running ahead of what the industry can supply, and the company says its main problem is building fast enough, not finding customers.
