Applied Materials shares closed near record highs around $269 after a 62% rally in 2025, fueled by AI chip demand and strong earnings. TD Cowen on December 4 raised its price target to $315, calling AMAT its “best idea for 2026.” The company also secured a $540 million contract to modernize India’s state-run chip fab in Mohali.
