Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openThe article compares Lam Research and Applied Materials on how much cash their latest share buybacks and dividends consume. In its quarter ended July 26, Applied Materials generated $3.037 billion of operating cash, had $707 million in capex, leaving $2.330 billion; $440 million in buybacks plus $420 million in dividends ate up 36.9% of that, a better cash cushion than Lam Research's 45.1% in its quarter ended June 28. The article notes buyback authorizations are not binding and can be slowed if equipment demand changes.
Zacks Research lowered its rating on Applied Materials (AMAT) from "strong-buy" to "hold" in a research note on Thursday.
Applied Materials opened its $5 billion EPIC Center, a facility aimed at developing next-generation semiconductor manufacturing processes. The company also expanded its work with NVIDIA and other chipmakers to use AI tools in chip design and fabrication, with EPIC serving as a hub for partnerships with industry peers and academic groups.
Applied Materials (AMAT) shares fell 21% over eight straight trading sessions. At a SEMICON West breakfast, CEO Gary Dickerson declined to give a specific wafer fab equipment (WFE) forecast, and the article frames this against long-term 2030 targets, with one mid-case price target of about $800 versus a current price near $430 and a broader analyst consensus around $632.
Applied Materials has beaten earnings estimates for five quarters in a row, yet its stock has fallen 22% over the past three months. One Wall Street firm sees that gap as a buying opportunity and predicts the shares could nearly double in the next year.
