AMAT

Applied Materials' stock has seen notable movements in the past six months, with its share price at $540.04 as of October 2, 2026, reflecting a 141.19% increase over the past year and 134.27% over the last 12 months. In August 2026, the Q3 2026 earnings report showed record revenue of $9.12 billion (up 25% year-over-year) and Non-GAAP EPS of $3.50 (up 41% year-over-year), beating expectations, though the stock sold off over 5% due to near-term margin guidance and capital expenditure expansion costs. Recent partnerships, including expanded collaboration with Intel on next-generation transistors, interconnects, and advanced packaging for AI chips, and partnerships with KIOXIA and BE Semiconductor Industries, have positively influenced sentiment by increasing AMAT's exposure to advanced memory and packaging technologies. Stock price fluctuations include an increase to $479.77 on September 25, 2026, a decrease to $423.18 on September 14, 2026, a decrease to $473.64 on August 26, 2026, and a close at $509.57 on October 8, 2026, down 2.13%.
