Applied Materials

Applied Materials is among the world’s largest Semiconductor Equipment sector businesses in the world. Applied Materials’s employees generate $1.776B in profits on $9.869B of revenue. Global output in the Semiconductor Equipment business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years. Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Applied Materials is determined to remain a market leader. Sectoral leadership in the Semiconductor Equipment segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Applied Materials’s ticker symbol AMAT has recently been trading near $20.14 a share. The Applied Materials corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, CA predicts Semiconductor Equipment profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $27.833B ensures sufficient liquidity. With a beta of 2.05, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole. When the average equity moves higher, Applied Materials moves more aggressively.
