AMAT Q2 Deep Dive: Strong Results Overshadowed by Weaker China Outlook and Demand Uncertainty
Semiconductor machinery manufacturer Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) beat Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q2 CY2025, with sales up 7.7% year on year to $7.30 billion. On the other hand, next quarter's revenue guidance of $6.7 billion was less impressive, coming in 8.2% below analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $2.48 per share was 5.1% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy AMAT? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Applied Materials (AMAT) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $7.30 billion vs analyst estimates of $7.22 billion (7.7% year-on-year growth, 1.2% beat) Adjusted EPS: $2.48 vs analyst estimates of $2.36 (5.1% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $2.36 billion vs analyst estimates of $2.27 billion (32.3% margin, 3.8% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $6.7 billion at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $7.30 billion Adjusted EPS guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $2.11 at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $2.38 Operating Margin: 30.6%, up from 28.7% in the same quarter last year Inventory Days Outstanding: 141, down from 142 in the previous quarter Market Capitalization: $151.1 billion StockStory's Take Applied Materials delivered a better-than-expected second quarter, but the market responded negatively amid growing concerns about future demand visibility—particularly in China. Management attributed quarterly strength to robust demand for semiconductor systems and services, with CEO Gary Dickerson highlighting "record performance" driven by investments in advanced chip manufacturing and ongoing customer engagement. However, management was clear that the positive results were partly offset by uneven demand patterns and mounting external uncertainty, especially around Chinese capacity digestion and the impact of export license restrictions. Looking ahead, Applied Materials issued a cautious revenue forecast for the next quarter due to persistent uncertainties in China and nonlinear demand from leading-edge chipmakers. CFO Brice Hill noted, 'We are seeing customers take longer to commit to orders, leading to a shorter visibility window.' Management pointed to ongoing geopolitical and trade policy risks, as well as the timing of major customer investments, as key variables shaping the near-term outlook. The company continues to prioritize investments in AI-enabling technologies, but acknowledged that quarterly growth may remain uneven until these issues stabilize. Key Insights from Management's Remarks Management anchored their discussion on the interplay of strong technology demand and near-term macro headwinds, citing China and advanced logic as primary sources of uncertainty for the outlook. China demand digestion: The company noted that recent strength in China was expected to subside, with Brice Hill, CFO, explaining that 'lower business, especially given the restrictions in our Q4 guide, much like we experienced in Q2,' is anticipated due to capacity digestion following significant investments in 2023 and 2024. Advanced logic and DRAM momentum: Applied Materials reported sustained growth in leading-edge logic and memory technologies, with revenue from metal deposition and etch businesses benefiting from the industry's transition to advanced nodes like gate-all-around transistors and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). CEO Gary Dickerson highlighted that 'our strength in DRAM supported record results for our etch business.' Service business durability: The Applied Global Services unit continued its 24-quarter streak of year-over-year growth, supported by a high proportion of subscription-based services and comprehensive agreements for advanced chip manufacturing, demonstrating resilience even during periods of equipment order volatility. Backlog of export licenses: Management disclosed a mounting backlog of export license applications related to China, adopting a conservative outlook by assuming no approvals for the coming quarter. This reflects ongoing trade and policy uncertainties affecting both near-term revenue and supply chain planning. Market share gains in packaging: The company emphasized its leading position in advanced chip packaging—critical for AI and high-performance computing—anticipating that this segment will more than double in size over the next few years, supported by new product wins and expanded customer collaboration. Drivers of Future Performance Management expects several headwinds to impact upcoming revenue and profit trends, largely driven by external policy factors and shifts in customer investment timing. Continued China uncertainty: Management said the digestion of capacity in China, combined with a conservative stance on export license approvals, will suppress sales from the region for the next several quarters. CFO Brice Hill remarked that 'the business will be less than 2024' until utilization rates improve and regulatory clarity returns. Nonlinear leading-edge demand: The outlook for advanced foundry and logic business remains positive over the long term, but near-term growth is expected to be uneven. Management cited delayed capital commitments and increased concentration among leading-edge customers, making quarterly demand patterns more volatile and reducing order visibility. AI-driven investments and packaging: Despite near-term volatility, Applied Materials continues to invest in technologies enabling AI, including advanced packaging and backside power architectures. CEO Gary Dickerson expects these inflections to expand the company's addressable market and drive incremental market share over the next several years. Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters In future quarters, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) the trajectory of China-related equipment sales and progress on pending export license approvals, (2) the timing and scale of major customer investments in new logic and memory production nodes, and (3) developments in advanced packaging and AI-enabling product launches. Execution in these areas will be key to sustaining growth during a period of heightened industry and policy uncertainty. Applied Materials currently trades at $162.35, down from $188.16 just before the earnings. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell?

BofA downgrades Applied Materials as mature-node weakness weighs on outlook
-- Bank of America downgraded Applied Materials to Neutral from Buy and cut its price objective to $180 from $190, citing a weaker-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter outlook and growing exposure to sluggish chip equipment segments. The brokerage said Applied's heavy reliance on mature-node demand especially in China and softer spending from major customers such as Intel are weighing on visibility and could continue to hold back growth into 2025. It cut its fiscal 2026 and 2027 adjusted earnings estimates by 9% and 5% respectively, though it maintained its valuation framework at 18 times 2026 earnings. While Bank of America still views Applied as a high-quality supplier, it said the company is underperforming the wafer fab equipment (WFE) market and may be losing share to peers such as Lam Research and KLA. It estimates Applied lost roughly 200 basis points of market share in 2024 due to slower sales in areas like etch and deposition. Applied shares trade at a discount to Lam on 2026 earnings, and BofA said the stock could benefit if China licenses improve or Intel increases capital spending, but near-term momentum looks weak. Applied now expects its Semiconductor Systems segment revenue to fall 1% in calendar 2025 and rise 6% in 2026, lagging BofA's WFE growth forecast of 5% and 6% for those years. The bank also warned of potential longer-term competition from Chinese equipment makers in areas where Applied has historically been strong, such as CMP and ion implantation.
