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.
