Recent Developments

On November 16, 2023, Reuters reported troubling news that Applied Materials is under a criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. This investigation pertains to allegations of the company possibly evading export restrictions related to China's leading chipmaker, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC). Following this information, the company's stock experienced a notable decline, dropping $6.19 per share, which translates to a 4.02% decrease, closing at $147.75 on November 17, 2023.

Subsequently, on February 27, 2024, further revelations emerged as Reuters indicated that Applied Materials had received subpoenas from both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. These subpoenas demanded information concerning shipments to China and specific federal award applications. This news prompted another drop in the company’s stock, with a decrease of $5.32 per share, equating to a 2.62% drop, which left the stock closing at $197.54 on February 28, 2024.
