What is the price target of Applied Materials Inc (AMAT)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $509.63, about 22.7% above the current $415.38. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the future stock price of AMAT by 2030?

Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $643.23, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

Applied Materials Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $30.84B, and our model projects it reaching about $77.90B by 2030.
