    SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Materials, Inc. today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.46 per share payable on the company's common stock. The dividend is payable on Sept. 11, 2025 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 21, 2025.

    The cash dividend is a key component of Applied's capital allocation strategy. In March 2025, Applied announced a 15-percent increase in the quarterly dividend per share, from $0.40 to $0.46, marking eight consecutive years of dividend increases. Over the past 10 fiscal years through 2024, the company has increased its dividend per share at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 15 percent and distributed nearly 90 percent of free cash flow to shareholders.

    In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Applied distributed nearly $2.0 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The company had approximately $15.9 billion remaining in its share repurchase authorization at the end of the period.
