Market Focus11-04 23:55

On November 4, Applied Materials falls 3.35% in Regular Trading, trading at $369.91 per share, with turnover of $778 million.

The move coincided with broad weakness across semiconductor equipment stocks, while the earlier positive reaction to Applied Materials raising its stake in BE Semiconductor Industries to about 20% showed diminishing marginal impact.

Previously, Applied Materials said it would increase its investment in Besi to approximately 20% to reinforce a long-term strategic partnership in advanced packaging. The company also stated it does not intend to raise the stake further or seek board representation, underscoring that the move is a strategic collaboration rather than a control transaction. On November 4, peers also traded lower, including ASML down 4.0%, KLA down 3.69%, and Lam Research down 2.28%, adding sector pressure to the shares.
