Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow AMAT and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full AMAT filings page.
Applied Materials is asking shareholders to vote at its 2026 Annual Meeting on March 12, 2026, in Santa Clara, California. Shareholders of record on January 14, 2026 can elect ten directors, approve on an advisory basis 2025 executive compensation, and ratify KPMG as auditor for fiscal 2026.
The company reports record revenue and earnings per share in fiscal 2025, its sixth straight year of growth, and highlights strong total shareholder returns versus the S&P 500 and compensation peers from 2021–2025. Strategy centers on “inflection-focused innovation” tied to AI and other long‑term semiconductor demand drivers.
The Board remains highly independent, with an independent chair and committees, annual elections, proxy access, and rights to call special meetings and act by written consent. Executive pay is heavily performance‑based, with significant long‑term equity linked to non‑GAAP economic profit and relative total shareholder return, and 2025 bonuses paid slightly below target after assessing financial, operational, and sustainability goals.
