Founded in 1967 in Santa Clara, the company sells the machines that make chips rather than chips themselves. Its tools deposit, etch, and modify thin films on wafers, and few leading-edge fabs anywhere run without them. Revenue tracks capital spending at TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, which makes the business cyclical in a different rhythm than chipmakers. A services arm covering spare parts, upgrades, and 200mm refurbishment now supplies a large recurring slice of sales. Export controls on shipments to China have been a recurring headwind since 2022.

Applied Materials equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge AMAT stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and AMAT's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current AMAT option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Applied Materials grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Applied Materials typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Applied Materials RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Applied Materials restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
