Semiconductor Equipment & Materials Stocks
Semiconductor Equipment & Materials: ASML Holding N.V. owns the largest revenue base; Ambarella, Inc. has the fastest current growth.
How has Semiconductor Equipment & Materials moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 143% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 11% on average over the last four reported quarters.
RS — · 23/27 >200d (−1) · 4/27 lead (−12) · EPS 16/26↑
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 27 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Is Semiconductor Equipment & Materials outperforming S&P 500?
Semiconductor Equipment & Materials has outperformed S&P 500 by 157.8% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 9.6%. 23 of 28 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Aehr Test Systems, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +65.3%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Semiconductor Equipment & Materials has outperformed S&P 500 by 157.8% over 52 weeks and 9.6% over 13 weeks. 23 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 10 of 28 beat the sector itself. ASML Holding N.V. leads with revenue of $35,328 million, based on 17 of 29 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
AXT, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Semiconductor Equipment & Materials at +2950%. Aehr Test Systems, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +106.2%. 23 of 28 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Semiconductor Equipment & Materials itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.
Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
ASML Holding N.V. has the highest Revenue among the 29 Semiconductor Equipment & Materials companies compared here, at $35,328 million. Applied Materials, Inc. is next at $29,024 million. Ambarella, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 27.8%, so level and change sit with different companies. 17 of 29 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: ASML Holding N.V. is the scale leader at $35,328 million, 21.7% ahead of Applied Materials, Inc.. Ambarella, Inc.'s growth is 27.8% from a $405 million base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: ASML Holding N.V. is the scale benchmark; Ambarella, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: ASML Holding N.V.'s growth falls below Ambarella, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Photronics, Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 29 Semiconductor Equipment & Materials companies compared here, at 0.43×. Veeco Instruments Inc. is next at 0.65×. Aehr Test Systems, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 12.4×, so level and change sit with different companies. 10 of 29 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Photronics, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.43×, 33.8% below Veeco Instruments Inc.. Only 10 of 29 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Semiconductor Equipment & Materials comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 29 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 29 Semiconductor Equipment & Materials companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company comparison FAQs
These 22 answers restate the Semiconductor Equipment & Materials comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 29 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Semiconductor Equipment & Materials sector outperforming S&P 500?
Semiconductor Equipment & Materials has outperformed S&P 500 by 157.8% over 52 weeks and 9.6% over 13 weeks. 23 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 10 of 28 beat the sector itself.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company is largest by revenue?
ASML Holding N.V. leads with revenue of $35,328 million, based on 17 of 29 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company is growing fastest?

Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
Teradyne, Inc. ranks first at 69.6/100 with 57.8% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company has the lowest comparable PEG?
Photronics, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.43, among 10 of 29 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Semiconductor Equipment & Materials comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company is the biggest?
ASML Holding N.V. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $35,328 million, ahead of Applied Materials, Inc. at $29,024 million. That covers 17 of 29 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company has the best profit margins?
KLA Corporation has the highest operating margin at 41.2%, from 27 of 29 comparable companies. Atomera Incorporated shows the biggest recent improvement, at +79084.1 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company makes the most profit?
ASML Holding N.V. earns the most, at $10,399 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 18 of 29 comparable companies. Applied Materials, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 25.9%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials company earns the highest return on capital?
Lam Research Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 15.5%, across 28 of 29 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Semiconductor Equipment & Materials stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Photronics, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.43×. Only 10 of 29 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown.
