加利福尼亞州聖克拉拉，2024 年 12 月 13 日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——應用材料公司今天宣佈，其董事會已批准向公司普通股派發每股0.40美元的季度現金股息。股息將於2025年3月13日支付給截至2025年2月20日的登記股東。

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Applied distributed $1.8 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The company had approximately $8.9 billion remaining in its share repurchase authorization at the end of the period.
