AMAT Opens $5B EPIC Center Amid 21% Share Decline
Applied Materials opened a $5B EPIC Center, a new R&D facility, amid a 21% decline in its shares over the last eight sessions. The drop aligns with broader weakness in chip‑equipment stocks, driven partly by AI‑spending concerns. The EPIC Center launch may signal a focus on future growth, but the shares are near the $418.92 support level and have recently broken out of the Bollinger Bands. The shares are also touching the 200‑day moving average.
