Description: AMAT Applied Materials January 28, 2026
Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) delivers materials-engineering equipment, services, and software to semiconductor manufacturers worldwide, operating through two segments: Semiconductor Systems, which supplies capital-equipment for etch, deposition, rapid thermal processing, CMP, metrology, inspection, packaging and ion implantation; and Applied Global Services (AGS), which provides spares, upgrades, automation software and 200-mm tool support to boost fab productivity. The firm serves a global client base across the United States, China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe.
Key recent metrics (Q4 2023 / FY 2023): Revenue $5.9 billion in the quarter, $25.4 billion for the year (+9 % YoY); operating margin 18 %; capital-expenditure guidance of roughly $5 billion for 2024, reflecting strong AI-driven demand for advanced nodes. Approximately 15 % of revenue is derived from China, making geopolitical policy a material risk factor. The broader semiconductor equipment sector is expanding at a 7-8 % CAGR through 2027, driven by rising demand for high-performance computing and automotive electronics.
