News Summary

Positive

Applied Materials delivered exceptional Q2 FY2026 results with record revenue of $7.91B (+11% YoY) and record EPS of $3.51 GAAP/$2.86 non-GAAP (+33%/+20%), beating consensus estimates while raising Q3 guidance to $8.95B revenue and raising dividend 15%. The company is well-positioned in AI-driven semiconductor equipment demand with strong forward momentum, though this is tempered by a $252.5M export controls settlement and a recent Morgan Stanley downgrade.

Red flags

  • Export controls settlement with U.S. Department of Commerce for $252.5M related to unauthorized reexport to SMIC
  • Morgan Stanley downgrade from Overweight to Equalweight (May 18, 2026) with $502 price target, suggesting analyst caution despite strong results

Shares Held and Position Value reflect total quarter-end holdings. ∆ Shares is the change from the prior quarter. % of Fund is the position's share of the fund's reported equity portfolio — it drives the size weighting in the conviction score.

Portfolio Context

Where AMAT ranks in each buying fund's book, and the positions immediately around it. What a holding sits next to often says more about the thesis than the position size does.
