Track Applied Materials
Add to watchlistApplied Materials, Inc. is one of the world’s leading semiconductor equipment and materials engineering companies, providing the tools, software, and services used to manufacture advanced chips and displays. The company supports many of the most important steps in semiconductor production, including deposition, etching, inspection, metrology, ion implantation, thermal processing, and advanced packaging.
Applied Materials sits at the centre of the global chipmaking supply chain. Rather than designing consumer chips itself, the company supplies the highly specialised equipment that enables chipmakers to produce smaller, faster, more powerful, and more energy-efficient semiconductors. As demand grows for artificial intelligence, data centres, advanced logic chips, high-bandwidth memory, and next-generation packaging, Applied Materials remains a key infrastructure provider behind the continued expansion of global computing.

Nvidia delivered another substantial earnings beat in its fiscal second quarter, with revenue more than doubling year-on-year as demand for AI infrastructure continued to accelerate. Strong Data Center growth, the ramp-up of Vera Rubin and an unusually bullish outlook suggest the AI investment cycle still has considerable room to run, although supply constraints, rising memory costs and China remain important risks.
