Applied Materials Increases Cash Dividend by 25 Percent

Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.

Applied Materials, Inc. today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 25-percent increase in the quarterly cash dividend from $0.32 to $0.40 per share. The dividend is payable on June 13, 2024 to shareholders of record as of May 23, 2024.
“Our latest dividend increase reflects our confidence in Applied Materials’ ability to generate profitable growth and strong free cash flow,” said Brice Hill, Senior Vice President and CFO. “We believe Applied can continue to outperform the semiconductor equipment market in the years ahead, and we expect our services business to deliver double-digit growth and more than enough operating profit to support a growing dividend.”

The quarterly cash dividend is a key component of Applied’s capital allocation strategy. Today’s announcement marks the seventh consecutive year that Applied has raised its dividend. In March 2023, Applied announced a 23.1-percent increase in the quarterly cash dividend from $0.26 to $0.32 per share and indicated its intention to increase the dividend at an accelerated rate over the next several years, which would double the previous dividend per share. With the increase announced today, Applied has grown its quarterly dividend paid per share at a 15-percent compound annual growth rate over the past 10 years.

AMAT is in the process of purchasing a massive piece of property in a neighboring city. Massive!

I have no idea what that means but you can be sure that it’s a good thing for them. Someone above my pay grade can figure that out.

Subscription Services Provide Increased Value to Chipmakers
alt-image
by Jeremy Read

September 16, 2022

For chipmakers, being early to market with industry-leading technology is extremely valuable. It can directly impact market share, revenue and gross margin. The faster chipmakers can reach high-volume manufacturing, the sooner and higher the return on their fab investment. Consider this: a leading-edge logic fab requires more than $20 billion of wafer fab equipment per 100,000 wafer starts of capacity, and a leading-edge memory fab needs a bit less than $10 billion of equipment for similar volumes. Given a five-year depreciation cycle, every day is worth $5 to $10 million in depreciation costs alone.

Within Applied Materials, the group tasked with helping our customers accelerate the ramp of new process nodes to high-volume manufacturing and then maximize wafer output while maintaining the highest possible yields and optimizing costs is our services organization – Applied Global Services (AGS). On Sept. 22, Applied will host a Master Class providing an in-depth look at our services business. Several colleagues will join me to discuss the many ways AGS delivers value to our customers over the full lifecycle of process nodes and equipment ownership, and share insights into the rapid and stable growth of the subscription portion of our services business. We will also show how our services business helps make Applied a more resilient company across business cycles.

As chipmakers race to optimize power, performance, area, cost and time to market (PPACt), they are increasingly engaging AGS to achieve better outcomes and returns on their equipment investments. One way they do this is through long-term subscription agreements where Applied has a broad array of service offerings to address virtually all our customers’ needs.

PDF Version
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Materials, Inc. is revising its business outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, ending Oct. 30, 2022.

On Oct. 7, 2022, the United States government announced new export regulations for U.S. semiconductor technology sold in China, including wafer fabrication equipment and related parts and services. Applied currently estimates that the new regulations will reduce its fourth-quarter net sales by approximately $400 million, plus or minus $150 million.

Applied is revising its fourth-quarter business outlook for net sales to approximately $6.4 billion, plus or minus $250 million, which compares to the prior outlook of $6.65 billion, plus or minus $400 million. The revised net sales outlook reflects the impact of the new export regulations partially offset by supply chain performance improvements.

Applied now expects fourth-quarter non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $1.54 to $1.78, which compares to the prior range of $1.82 to $2.18. The revised EPS outlook includes the impact of lower expected revenue along with a preliminary estimated impact of approximately $0.23 primarily for inventory and remanufacturing charges related to the new export regulations.

Applied is pursuing additional export licenses and authorizations where needed. The company currently expects the new regulations will impact net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 by a similar amount as in the current quarter. Additional information will be provided during the company’s next earnings webcast.

Applied Materials is a global business with customers, suppliers and operations located in many countries around the world. Applied’s business depends on international trade, and the company is committed to complying with all applicable trade regulations.

AB REC UPDATE AMAT (12/17/2021):

Signal Update:

Our system’s recommendation today is to STAY LONG. The previous BUY signal was issued on 12/07/2021, 10 days ago, when the stock price was 151.6200. Since then AMAT has fallen by -3.61%.

Market Outlook:

The market is not a friend of the bulls anymore. The bearish signs are increasing and the odds for a downside breakout is significantly high.

Such a good company!

Though not exciting. I bought few shares and it went lower.

But, I intend to add more soon.

I know there are so many more exciting stocks to buy. I have few of them in my port.

Any wonder nobody posting for a long time. It's apparent their PR is non-existent. But share price over time could be rewarding to shareholders.

By no means a certainty but expectations are for a beat on earnings but much depends on commentary and guidance.
While most have popped on earnings , XLNX &WDC for example have failed to impress.
Safer to wait for earnings and trade the breakout rather than carry risk into the event.
