Applied Materials Q4 Earnings Beat Estimates as Revenue Rises 53%
· 6 sources
Applied Materials topped Q4 estimates with revenue up 53% and record semiconductor systems sales, according to Quartz and Yahoo Finance.
What happened
Applied Materials (AMAT) reported fiscal fourth-quarter results that beat analyst estimates, with revenue rising 53%, Quartz reports. Yahoo Finance says the chip equipment maker posted record semiconductor systems sales.
For the fiscal first quarter, the company expects revenue of $11.1 billion, plus or minus $500 million, according to Quartz. Proactive financial news reports that Applied Materials sees semiconductor systems growth above 40%, with AI demand driving the record results.
Reactions were mixed. Yahoo Finance reports that several price targets were cut despite the beat-and-raise quarter, while it says Morningstar called AI worries overblown. Morningstar separately raised its fair value estimate, and Seeking Alpha says analysts see strong demand for semiconductor equipment.
Context
Applied Materials makes equipment used to manufacture semiconductors, so its results are often read as a signal of spending across the chip industry.
Why it matters
The results may shape how investors view demand for chipmaking tools, which is relevant to peers such as Lam Research and KLA.
