Applied Materials Inc. on Thursday said its board approved a new $2 billion share-buyback program, following the completion of its $3 billion program initiated last year.

The maker of semiconductor-manufacturing tools has seen its stock price surge 23% over the past month.

In May, the company said orders hit a 15-year high in its latest reporting quarter, and some analysts and investors have speculated future iPhone models will use Applied Materials' organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, display.

On Thursday, Chief Financial Officer Robert Halliday said the company is "confident in our ability to drive profitable growth."

Applied Materials didn't provide a time frame for when it plans to repurchase its shares. The company has a market value of roughly $26.4 billion.

The shares price edged 0.6% higher in after-hours trading on Thursday.
