Strategic packaging push remains in focus
Applied Materials plans to increase its holding in Dutch chip-equipment supplier BE Semiconductor Industries, or Besi, to about 20 percent from 9 percent. The companies are deepening cooperation in advanced chip packaging and hybrid bonding, technologies used in the production of increasingly complex processors.
The planned investment gives Applied Materials a closer strategic link to a supplier positioned in the chip-assembly chain, while the 20 percent target sets a clear ceiling for the announced holding. For investors, the November 12 results will be the next catalyst for assessing whether the company's growth ambitions are translating into operating momentum.
