Applied Materials reported Q3 revenue of $9.12 billion, up 25% year-over-year, beating estimates, with adjusted EPS of $3.50, a 41% increase. The company gave a strong Q4 revenue forecast of $10.25 billion, well above expectations, driven by growth in semiconductor systems and memory segments. Despite this, shares fell about 4%, possibly due to profit-taking or market dynamics. Analysts remain bullish, with Jefferies naming it their favorite semiconductor equipment stock and expecting strong growth through 2027 and beyond.
