Applied Materials Warns of Revenue Loss Due to New U.S. Export Restrictions to China
Applied Materials, a leading supplier of equipment used to make semiconductors, has announced that new U.S. government export restrictions targeting China will negatively affect its business.
The company stated it may lose about $600 million to $710 million in revenue during its fiscal year 2026, which ends next October. These restrictions limit the export of advanced chipmaking equipment to China, one of Applied Materials' largest markets.
Other chip equipment makers, such as Lam Research and KLA, have also seen their stock prices fall due to similar concerns about lost sales from China. The ongoing trade rules are putting pressure on companies that rely on Chinese customers.
New U.S. export rules make it harder for the company to sell its chipmaking equipment to China, leading to expected lower sales.
Applied Materials estimates its revenue could be reduced by $600 million to $710 million in its 2026 fiscal year.
Yes, other semiconductor equipment makers like Lam Research and KLA are also facing risks to their business with China because of the restrictions.
