What Applied Materials does
Applied Materials designs and sells the machines that chipmakers use to build semiconductors, plus the services and spare parts to keep them running. Its tools deposit thin films, shape patterns and transistors, inspect wafers for defects and package finished chips. Its customers make chips for phones, computers, data center servers, cars and other electronics. It reports two segments. Semiconductor Systems sells the equipment, mainly to makers of foundry and logic chips, DRAM memory and flash memory, and is the larger contributor to revenue. Applied Global Services sells services, spare parts and factory software to customers that already run its equipment. A smaller display business is reported separately. Sales are made almost entirely through its own direct sales force. During fiscal 2025, two customers accounted for approximately 19% and 15% of net revenue. Applied says its customers cut or delay spending when chip demand weakens.
Biggest risks, in its own words
- Swings in demand for chips, since customers' equipment spending changes sharply and orders can be delayed or cancelled.
- Tariffs, export controls and other trade rules, especially for sales to customers in China.
- Depending on a few large customers for much of its revenue.
- Supply chain or factory disruptions, including parts that come from a single supplier or a few suppliers.
