Cantor Fitzgerald Raises Applied Materials Price Target to $650
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J.
Muse raised the price target on Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) to $650.00 (from $575.00) while maintaining an Overweight rating.
“Leading-edge foundry/logic is the primary WFE growth driver, with management citing GAA nodes as a catalyst for multiple points of market share gains.
ICAPS is expected “flat to slightly higher” in CY2026; management noted this is the first year in several where leading logic is actually outpacing ICAPS.
DRAM is one of AMAT’s fastest-growing markets, with customers aggressively adding capacity at advanced nodes driven by HBM demand.
NAND bit demand will be satisfied by upgrades rather than new wafer starts; greenfield NAND capacity not expected at scale until ~2028.”
