We Believe Applied Materials’ Silicon Equipment Market Share Will Improve

Historically, Applied Materials has enjoyed the highest market share in the silicon equipment market, averaging around 14%-16%, in global semiconductor equipment sales because of its broad portfolio of products and its global reach. We have estimated the company’s market share at 16.3% in 2015. We believe Applied can manage to further improve its market share to 24.5% by the end of our forecast period. We base this on the strong surge in orders Applied has has been witnessing in the last few quarters. It is worth noting that Applied booked orders worth $3.7 billion in Q3, which is highest in any given quarter in the last 15 years. This should translate into strong sales growth for the company in the coming quarters.
