Makes and services the machines chipmakers use to build, inspect and package chips, and sells software and equipment for related factories.
Shares of revenue are estimates for three months ended July 26, 2026, not figures from a filing.
Patterning equipment
Machines and processes that form the tiny patterns used to make chip structures.
Deposition and epitaxy equipment
Machines that add thin layers of material to a chip wafer; epitaxy grows a carefully controlled crystal layer.
Etch and materials-modification equipment
Machines that remove selected material or change its properties as chip structures are built.
Metrology and inspection equipment
Optical and electron-beam machines that measure and inspect chip features during production to help find defects.
Advanced packaging equipment
Machines that connect separate chip pieces into a finished package; examples include plating and polishing equipment.
Factory services, parts and software
Field service, replacement parts and factory-automation software for semiconductor and other equipment. On its Q3 fiscal 2026 call, the company said more than 37,000 (Q3 fiscal 2026 call, high) equipment chambers were connected to its AIx software.
Three ratings, each a percentile against the 30 companies we cover in Semiconductor Equipment and Materials. Deliberately kept apart rather than blended into one score — cheap, rising and well-run are three different facts, and a single number would hide which one is which.
Above most of its industry
The most recent month is left out on purpose: returns tend to persist over 7–12 months and the newest one tends to reverse. This describes what the price has done, and says nothing about what it will do.
Middle of its industry
Yields, so higher means cheaper — a loss-making company ranks last instead of dropping out. Cheap is not the same as good: a high yield is often a price that fell for a reason. All five measures available.

What management does with the money — scored on whatever the filings answer, never as a share of the total.
A description of where this company sits among its competitors, not a recommendation. Ratings updated Sep 26, 2026.
Applied Materials makes equipment that chipmakers use to form patterns, build chip structures and wiring, inspect production, and connect chips together. It also sells replacement parts, factory software, and services to keep equipment running and help chip factories improve production. Its customers include semiconductor manufacturers and companies that make display products.
Built from Applied Materials Inc.’s own filings with the SEC. Figures are as reported, with per-share history restated onto today’s share basis. This describes a business — it is not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
