Applied generated record revenue of $9.12 billion. On a GAAP basis, the company reported gross margin of 50.3 percent, record operating income of $3.08 billion or 33.7 percent of revenue, and earnings per share (EPS) of $3.17.
On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported gross margin of 50.4 percent, record operating income of $3.10 billion or 34.0 percent of revenue, and record EPS of $3.50.
The company generated record cash from operations of $3.04 billion and distributed $860 million to shareholders through $440 million in share repurchases and $420 million in dividends.
“Applied Materials delivered another record-breaking quarter, including the highest sequential revenue growth in the company’s history,” said Gary Dickerson, President and CEO. “As the rapid global adoption of AI drives unprecedented demand for our materials engineering solutions, we are further raising our Semiconductor Systems revenue expectations for calendar 2026 and are confident we will grow faster than the market this year. Based on the increased demand visibility we are receiving from our customers, we expect another strong growth year for Applied Materials in 2027.”
“Applied Materials achieved its 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year gross margin expansion, demonstrating the increasing value we create by enabling better chips, systems and fab returns,” said Brice Hill, Senior Vice President and CFO. “We expect continued strong revenue growth in the second half of the calendar year, particularly in DRAM as well as leading-edge foundry-logic and advanced packaging. Looking further ahead, we are making additional manufacturing capacity investments to support projected demand through the end of the decade.”
