2026 expected to be growth year, weighted to second half
Applied Materials delivered a record FY2025, but the market is focused on its upbeat 2026 outlook, which expects a significant growth inflection in the second half of calendar 2026 driven by AI-led demand for leading-edge logic and DRAM. Management cited improved customer visibility, with some providing 1-2 years of demand foresight, and highlighted a favorable spending mix that plays to their strengths. FY2025 revenue grew 4% to $28.4B, with non-GAAP gross margins reaching a 25-year high of 48.8%.

Оценка менеджмента
Confident
Executives repeatedly cited record results, strong technology positions, improved visibility, and multiple growth drivers for 2026 despite trade-restriction headwinds.
Оценка AI от менеджмента
Management framed AI as a secular tipping point creating a virtuous cycle: better AI economics expands applications and demand for AI compute capacity. They expect AI data center investment to drive the fastest growth in leading-edge foundry logic, DRAM/HBM, and advanced packaging, where Applied claims strong #1 positions.
Инвестиции и мощности
Applied is preparing its supply chain and operations for a customer WFE spending inflection in the second half of calendar 2026; internal capex remains elevated with $2.3B spent in FY25, over half on the EPIC Center. Management sees improved customer visibility and expects growth weighted to 2H26.
