Applied Materials Sees $600 Million 2026 Sales Hit From Expanded U.S. Export Curbs

A new BIS rule extending controls to majority-owned subsidiaries tightens licensing for China-linked customers.

Overview

  • Applied Materials said the restrictions will also reduce its current fourth-quarter revenue by about $110 million.
  • The company warned it will be harder to ship some tools and to provide specific parts and services to certain China-based customers without a license.
  • Shares fell about 3% in after-hours trading following the disclosure of the expected revenue impact.
  • The Commerce Department widened its restricted export list to cover majority-owned subsidiaries of listed entities, a change that analysts say will expand licensing needs and disrupt supply chains.
  • Applied Materials, the largest maker of wafer fabrication equipment, recently reported third-quarter revenue of $7.30 billion, highlighting its exposure to a market where sales have been under pressure.
