Applied Materials Semiconductor Systems — Inventories increased by 6.5% to $4.31B in Q1 2026 compared to the prior quarter. Year-over-year, this metric grew by 17.5%, from $3.67B to $4.31B.
Rising inventory levels may signal anticipated demand growth or supply chain bottlenecks, whereas falling levels could indicate strong sales or potential supply shortages.
This reflects the value of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods held by the Semiconductor Systems segment...
Comparable to inventory levels at other large-scale capital equipment manufacturers with complex global supply chains.
