What happened

Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT) expanded its partnership with Besi on October 1, covering hybrid bonding, logic-memory integration, and photonics applications. S1 Besi will join Applied's EPIC Center to develop these processes alongside its engineering teams. S1 The source states Applied expects EPIC Center capital spending to scale to approximately $5 billion as customer projects begin, with the announcement itself flagging technology development and achievement of the center's objectives as uncertainties. S1

KLA Corporation posted fiscal 2026 Semiconductor Process Control revenue growth of 12%, while its PCB and Component Inspection segment rose 21%, with management attributing part of the gain to advanced packaging demand and a larger installed base producing service revenue. S1 The source notes a sharp third-quarter decline in KLA's share price, which prompted Jim Cramer to highlight a perceived disconnect between the company's role in chip production and its market performance. S1

Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) reported that its Akara etch technology has been adopted by all leading DRAM manufacturers for advanced-node development, a milestone the source labels as design adoption rather than confirmation of full-volume production at every customer. S1 Customer support-related and other revenue reached approximately $2.47 billion in the June quarter, up from approximately $1.73 billion a year earlier, covering upgrades and other products beyond pure maintenance. S1

Forward-earnings multiples at the time of writing stand at approximately 30.1x for Applied Materials, 35.2x for Lam Research, and 36.1x for KLA, giving Applied the lowest multiple of the three. S1 Both KLA's annual filing and Lam's fiscal 2026 annual report warn that export-license restrictions can block shipments, customer support, and spare-parts sales to Chinese customers, and may force the return of customer deposits while aiding competitors not subject to the same rules.

Background timeline

  1. - Jim Cramer endorsed Applied Materials after management told him customers were planning capacity further ahead than usual, per the source. [S1]
  2. - Applied Materials expanded its partnership with Besi to cover hybrid bonding, logic-memory stacking, and photonics, with Besi joining the EPIC Center. [S1]
  3. - Lam Research reported customer support-related and other revenue of approximately $2.47 billion, versus approximately $1.73 billion a year earlier. [S1]

XAIPART take

Technical impact

The AMAT-Besi collaboration targets hybrid bonding for logic-memory stacking and photonics, both of which sit inside the advanced-packaging roadmap that KLA cited as a growth driver. For design engineers specifying 2.5D and 3D heterogeneous integration, the joint EPIC Center work signals that hybrid bonding is moving from a Besi-led niche toward a toolset co-developed with AMAT deposition and etch platforms.

The Lam Akara etch milestone is a development flag, not a production gate: full-volume DRAM insertion still has to clear customer-specific qual cycles, so memory roadmaps referencing Akara should treat the announcement as an enablement rather than a shipment commitment.

Market impact

Applied's roughly 30.1x forward earnings multiple versus 35.2x for Lam and 36.1x for KLA frames a relative-value argument: AMAT is the cheapest of the three on this metric, but LRCX and KLAC command premiums that markets typically reserve for higher-growth or higher-margin profiles.

Export-license risk is a shared liability across all three vendors. KLA and Lam both disclose that Chinese shipment restrictions can trigger deposit returns and benefit competitors outside the rules, so any sourcing plan that depends on these tools for China-based capacity should weight that exposure into the lead-time forecast.

LRCX's customer-support revenue jumped from about $1.73 billion to about $2.47 billion year over year, a roughly 43% rise, which is more meaningful for aftermarket and spare-parts availability than for new tool lead times.

Action

Procurement teams should request AMAT-side updates on EPIC Center tooling release dates before locking hybrid-bonding process flows into 2027-2028 product timelines. Engineering leads evaluating Akara etch for advanced-node DRAM should qualify the process on a per-customer basis rather than treating it as a standard catalog item.

Buyers sourcing KLAC inspection or LRCX deposition subsystems should pre-clear the China shipment and spare-parts path with each vendor's trade-compliance team, since deposit-return clauses can affect purchase-order cancellation economics.

XAIPART Forecast

XAIPART expects that by 2027-03-31, if Applied Materials has not published a first customer-tool release date tied to the Besi hybrid bonding program at the EPIC Center, the AMAT-versus-LRCX forward-earnings gap should compress below 4x, because the announced EPIC Center capital spending target of approximately $5 billion would no longer be carrying a clear near-term tool-revenue story; this forecast is XAIPART analysis and is wrong if AMAT announces a qualified customer release on or before that date.

Facts are as reported by the cited source. The design-in, sourcing and forward-looking statements above are XAIPART's analysis, not the source's claims. Uncertainty: Cramer's pecking-order commentary and the trading-day valuation multiples are reported by a single secondary source and were not independently verified; KLA's third-quarter stock decline is not dated in the source; whether Akara etch has entered high-volume manufacturing at each named DRAM customer is not confirmed.

Corrections: none at publication. This brief will be updated with a timestamp if the source corrects its report.
