AMAT Stock Forecast 2026: Is Applied Materials Still A Buy?

Applied Materials (AMAT) stock is trading near its 52-week high, driven by strong AI infrastructure investment, which positions it well for continued growth in leading-edge logic, HBM DRAM, and advanced packaging. However, its valuation at 31x forward earnings and significant risk from China’s export regulations suggest that future appreciation hinges more on earnings performance and disciplined entry points rather than multiple expansion. While technical indicators show the stock is overextended, AMAT remains an attractive long-term investment for those who can tolerate volatility and strategically time their entry.
