Applied Materials Inc expected to post earnings of $4.05 a share - Earnings Preview

What happened

Applied Materials is expected to report results on November 12 for the quarter ended October 31, 2026. Analysts estimate earnings of $4.05 per share and revenue of $10.299 billion, up 51.4% from a year earlier; company guidance was revenue of $9.75 billion to $10.75 billion and earnings per share of $3.82 to $4.22.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Revenue and earnings results will show whether Applied Materials met its own forecast and analysts’ expectations. If revenue growth is sustained, it could support sales and cash available for the company and its suppliers; a shortfall could instead pressure expected income and investor assessments of the shares.

Analyst inference

Analysts’ average earnings estimate has not changed over the past three months, while the average share rating is buy. Their median 12-month price target is $610.00, compared with a last closing price of $370.55; these figures describe expectations, not guaranteed returns.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. Compare reported revenue with the company’s $9.75 billion to $10.75 billion guidance range and the $10.299 billion analyst estimate to gauge whether sales met expectations. Analyst inference
2. Check reported earnings per share against the company’s $3.82 to $4.22 forecast range and the $4.05 analyst estimate; per-share earnings divide profit among shares. Analyst inference
3. Look for updated company guidance after results, especially revenue and gross profit margin, which means the share of sales remaining after direct production costs. Analyst inference
