Applied Materials Posts Record Q2 on AI-Driven Demand, Gross Margin at 25-Year High
Applied Materials delivered record Q2 FY2026 results with revenue of $7.91 billion and EPS of $2.86, beating consensus on both lines. AI computing workloads -- including generative and agentic AI -- are driving demand for leading-edge logic, DRAM, and high-bandwidth memory packaging, which management expects to fuel over 30% wafer-fab equipment growth in 2026. Gross margin reached a 25-year high near 50%, with operating margin above 30%. New product launches across gate-all-around and etch technologies, the EPIC Center co-innovation platform with major foundry and memory partners, and the NEXX acquisition for panel-level packaging position Applied Materials across multiple growth vectors. The stock drifted materially higher after the report.

What changed
Revenue hit a record $7.91B with non-GAAP gross margin at its highest level in over 25 years. EPS of $2.86 beat the $2.68 consensus by 6.7%, and revenue beat the $7.68B estimate by 2.9%. Management introduced the EPIC Center collaboration platform with eight founding partners including TSMC, Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix. The NEXX acquisition was announced to add panel-level packaging capabilities for larger-body AI accelerators. Agentic AI was highlighted as a new demand driver adding CPU-intensive workloads for DRAM and NAND.
Guidance delta
Guidance sentiment was maintained, with management reiterating its outlook for approximately 30% wafer-fab equipment growth in 2026. Capex outlook remains stable. Q3 guidance was described as robust. No upward or downward revision to the full-year growth framework was indicated.
Key takeaways
- Record revenue of $7.91B and record earnings, with the highest gross margin in over 25 years.
- AI-driven demand is shifting spend toward leading-edge logic, DRAM, and advanced packaging, expected to drive over 30% equipment growth in 2026.
- Non-GAAP gross margin near 50% and operating margin above 30%.
- New product introductions -- Trillium ALD, precision PECVD, Sym3 Z -- strengthen leadership in gate-all-around and etch technologies.
- Applied Global Services expected to grow in the mid-teens, boosted by AI-enabled service innovations and an expanding installed base.
Management priorities
- Master Class webcast on DRAM and advanced packaging (June 25).
- Unveiling of the EPIC Center in Sunnyvale in October.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
