Applied Materials (AMAT) continues to attract investor attention, posting strong Q2 2025 results and surpassing earnings estimates, despite experiencing some financial strain due to ongoing trade policy shifts and tariff challenges. The semiconductor giant has been engaging in strategic investments like with BE Semiconductor Industries, increasing its dividend by 15%, and getting consistent ratings upgrades from Morgan Stanley and other financial firms, adding to investor confidence. However, the company did see a slight sales miss, reportedly due to shrinking China sales and an uncertain environment over export controls. The expected DRAM sales growth of AMAT is projected to be 40% by 2025. Amid these uncertainties, the stock has experienced some volatility. It's Β§also noted that Applied Materials has become the largest shareholder of advanced packaging firm BESI and the firm's customer demand remains steady.
