Creative Strategies earnings read | November 13, 2026 | Applied Materials fiscal fourth quarter 2026 results and conference call, November 12, 2026 Applied Materials said wafer fab equipment grows more than 30% in 2027 and that it will outgrow the market again, and it is now building factory capacity for a much larger industry than any number it gave investors. Operating view: Applied's call was the second from a major US tool maker in three weeks to put 2027 wafer fab equipment (WFE) above $200 billion. Growth of more than 30% on a 2026 market of about $155 billion lands in the low $200 billions, the same place as Lam Research's view.
