AMAT APPLIED MATERIALS INC /DE Insider Trading

Applied Materials President Prabu Raja sells 50,000 shares for $25.3M in 4 transactions at $504.66–$507.06 on 2026-06-04

Prabu G. Raja, President of the Semiconductors Products Group at Applied Materials, executed four separate sales totaling 50,000 shares for $25,264,196.75 on 2026-06-04, reducing his holdings from 406.6K to 356.6K shares. The blended average price of $505.28 is near the stock's 52-week high of $510.75, and significantly above the current price of $453.01, suggesting this disposal occurred at peak valuation. Raja's prior cross-ticker selling history shows a 100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, and his single prior sale at AMAT (2024-06-18) also registered negative 90-day returns, establishing a pattern where his exits have preceded subsequent price declines. This disposition occurs within a fundamental context of 42.26 P/E and $7.9B quarterly revenue, metrics that frame the timing within the company's valuation cycle.

CFO Brice Hill sells 2,500 shares of AMAT at $498.86; retains 136,113 shares post-transaction.

Brice Hill, SVP and CFO of Applied Materials, executed an open-market sale of 2,500 shares at $498.86 on 2026-06-03, reducing his holdings by 1.8% to 136,113 shares. The stock is currently trading at $453.01, down 11.3% from the 52-week high of $510.75, though up 5.7% over the prior 30 days and 39.5% over 90 days. Among his prior AMAT sales, one of two was well-timed at the 90-day mark; his cross-ticker track record shows a 50% well-timed rate on 2 prior sells, though the average 90-day return post-sell of +1.4% indicates those sales were generally poorly timed (stock rose after). The transaction occurs in a company with strong fundamentals—$7.9B quarterly revenue, $2.8B net income, 4.4% annual growth, and a $359.7B market cap—and a elevated P/E of 42.26 that warrants continued observation.
