KLA Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, manufacture, and marketing of process control, process-enabling, and yield management solutions for the semiconductor and related electronics industries worldwide. It operates through three segments: Semiconductor Process Control; Specialty Semiconductor Process; and PCB and Component Inspection. The company offers inspection and review tools to identify, locate, characterize, review, and analyze defects on various surfaces of patterned and unpatterned wafers; metrology systems that are used to measure pattern dimensions, film thickness, film stress, layer-to-layer alignment, pattern placement, surface topography, and electro-optical properties for wafers; chemical process control equipment; wired and wireless sensor wafers and reticles; wafer defect inspection, review, and metrology systems; reticle inspection and metrology systems; and semiconductor software solutions that provide run-time process control, defect excursion identification, process corrections, and defect classification to accelerate yield learning rates and reduce production risk. It also provides etch, plasma dicing, deposition, and other wafer processing technologies and solutions for the semiconductor and microelectronics industry. In addition, the company offers direct imaging, inspection, optical shaping, inkjet and additive printing, UV laser drilling, and computer-aided manufacturing and engineering solutions for the PCB market; inspection and electrical testing systems to identify and classify defects, as well as systems to repair defects for the display market; and inspection and metrology systems for quality control and yield improvement in advanced and traditional semiconductor packaging markets.

KLA выглядит как высококачественный, но уже дорого оценённый бизнес с сильной операционной дисциплиной. Выручка, прибыль и операционная прибыль за последние годы растут, а маржи остаются очень высокими: gross margin около 61.6%, operating margin почти 42%, net margin 35.8%. Рентабельность капитала и активов впечатляет: ROE 95.2%, ROA 28.4%, ROI 42.7%, что подтверждает способность компании эффективно монетизировать капитал. Ликвидность комфортная: current ratio 2.83 и quick ratio 2.00, а cash on hand 4.68 млрд долларов создаёт запас прочности. При этом долговая нагрузка не выглядит критичной, но остаётся заметной: debt/equity 1.08 и long-term debt 5.89 млрд долларов, что требует учитывать цикличность полупроводникового оборудования. Главный сдерживающий фактор для дальнейшего апсайда — очень высокие мультипликаторы: P/E 44.4, P/S 18.0, P/B 42.9 и P/FCF 59.3, причём они существенно выше отраслевых медиан. Это означает, что рынок уже закладывает в цену сильный рост и устойчивость прибыли, поэтому запас переоценки ограничен. Дивидендная доходность 1.31% улучшилась, но для такого уровня оценки она не является достаточным аргументом в пользу заметного расширения мультипликатора. Динамика показателей в целом позитивная, однако рост качества уже во многом отражён в цене. На этом фоне справедливее выглядит умеренно осторожная корректировка прогноза вниз, а не повышение целевой цены. Для инвестора это история не про глубокую недооценку, а про качественный актив с отличной операционной моделью, который требует дисциплины в точке входа.

Negotiations would then begin on the more intractable issues, such as sanctions against Iran, the release of $24 billion of frozen Iranian assets, and the resolution of Iranian nuclear issues. However, Iran said its leaders still need to make a final decision on the proposed interim peace deal.

Today's Featured Research Reports
Shares of Costco have gained +13.7% over the past six months against the Zacks Retail - Discount Stores industry’s gain of +14%. The company remains well-positioned due to its differentiated membership-based warehouse model, strong value proposition and loyal customer base. It continues to benefit from recurring membership income, high renewal rates and growing engagement from higher-value members.
Costco’s focus on offering quality merchandise at competitive prices supports steady traffic and reinforces customer loyalty. Costco is also enhancing its digital ecosystem through e-commerce, personalization tools, AI-driven product discovery and convenient fulfillment options, helping improve the member experience.
Also, the company is expanding its warehouse footprint and investing in productivity-enhancing initiatives to support long-term growth. Backed by a strong balance sheet, Costco is well-positioned to strengthen its market leadership and drive sustainable growth over time.
(You can read the full research report on Costco here >>>)
Lam Research’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry over the past six months (+120.9% vs. +50%). The company is benefiting from AI-driven increases in demand for deposition and etch tools across memory, foundry and advanced packaging industries.
Management lifted its calendar year 2026 WFE outlook and sees growth continuing into 2027 as customers work through capacity and cleanroom constraints. Record Q3 results and a higher Q4 outlook reflect momentum in leading-edge foundry and HBM-driven DRAM, while NAND conversion activity is being pulled forward.
Customer Support is scaling with a larger installed base and new productivity services that can lift output and yield. Strong cash flow and an aggressive shareholder return policy are other positives. However, global spending on mature nodes is likely to remain soft in the near term. Growing trade and tariff tensions between the United States and China are a concern.
(You can read the full research report on Lam Research here >>>)
Shares of KLA have outperformed the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry over the past six months (+97.4% vs. +51.7%). The company continues to benefit from AI-driven spending in leading-edge foundry/logic, high-bandwidth memory and advanced packaging, supporting market share gains in process control and steady services growth that helps anchor cash generation.
Management expects its advanced packaging portfolio revenue to rise to about $1 billion in 2026 and sees wafer equipment demand strengthening into 2027, with June quarter guidance calling for another step up in revenue. A high free cash flow profile supports ongoing dividends and repurchases, including a higher quarterly dividend and a new $7 billion authorization.
However, KLAC’s prospects remains balanced for now given export control and tariff uncertainty, customer concentration, and gross margin sensitivity to elevated DRAM-related system costs expected to persist through at least 2026.
(You can read the full research report on KLA here >>>)
Blue Ridge Bankshares’ shares have outperformed the Zacks Banks - Northeast industry over the past year (+41.6% vs. +40%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $298.51 million is transitioning to a traditional community banking model post-completion of its regulatory remediation efforts. Capital remains above regulatory requirements despite a large special dividend, while liquidity is strong and credit quality continues to improve.
The exit from fintech-related activities has simplified operations, while brokered deposit reduction and expense controls support a leaner model. Yet, earnings remain pressured by balance-sheet contraction, lower loan yields and reduced revenue diversification. Profitability still relies partly on non-core items, while the loan portfolio remains concentrated in real estate.
The valuation reflects investor caution toward earnings recovery. While the successful execution of growth and profitability initiatives could drive upside, failure to rebuild sustainable core earnings may limit shareholder returns.
(You can read the full research report on Blue Ridge Bankshares here >>>)
Shares of AXIL Brands have outperformed the Zacks Consumer Products - Staples industry over the past year (+24.4% vs. -7.5%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $44.18 million sees its investment thesis driven by its core hearing enhancement and protection business, supported by expanding retail and online distribution.
AXIL Brands is building a more diversified revenue base by complementing its direct-to-consumer model with a growing wholesale presence. Despite tariff-related pressure and elevated marketing spending, AXIL has remained profitable while investing in growth, reflecting disciplined execution. The emerging marketing services segment provides a potential high-margin, complementary revenue stream by leveraging existing digital marketing capabilities.
Additionally, the hair and skin care business offers strategic optionality, with corporate actions creating flexibility for future value-maximizing opportunities while management remains focused on scaling the core hearing platform.

Top Analyst Reports for Costco, Lam Research & KLA

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. KLA Corp (Symbol: KLAC) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making KLA Corp an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Friday, shares of KLAC entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $236 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of KLA Corp, the RSI reading has hit 22.5 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 55.6. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, KLAC's recent annualized dividend of 9.2/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 0.38% based upon the recent $2411.64 share price.
A bullish investor could look at KLAC's 22.5 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on KLAC is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Stocks raced to their highs Thursday afternoon when President Trump said he canceled planned military strikes against Iran, citing "discussions" with Iranian leadership. He added that a "time and place of the signing" of a negotiated end to the war would "be announced shortly," and the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz "will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is finalized."
Stocks were initially weighed down on Thursday amid concerns about the escalation of Middle East hostilities after President Trump said the US will be hitting Iran very hard tonight and will "at some point" take control of Kharg Island, Iran's key export hub, thus taking control of Iran's oil and gas markets.
Stocks were also pressured by Thursday’s US economic reports, which showed that weekly US jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 4-month high and that May producer prices were mixed.
Late Wednesday, President Trump said the US will continue bombing Iran if it refuses to agree to an interim peace deal. Mr. Trump ordered multiple strikes on Iranian targets on Wednesday, and Iran retaliated by firing on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. The increase in tensions risks derailing peace talks between Iran and the US, thus keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, and further tightening global energy supplies.
US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly rose +4,000 to a 4-month high of 229,000, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of a decline to 220,000.
US May PPI final demand rose +1.1% m/m and +6.5% y/y, stronger than expectations of +0.7% m/m and +6.4% y/y, with the +6.5% y/y gain being the largest year-on-year increase in 3.5 years. However, May PI ex food and energy rose +0.4% m/m and +4.9% y/y, weaker than expectations of +0.5% m/m and +5.4% y/y.
WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) are extremely volatile, whipsawing higher and lower several times on Thursday. Crude prices today initially gave up an overnight advance of more than +2% and fell more than -2% after President Trump said he canceled planned strikes on Iran and that a peace deal to end the war was imminent. Crude prices initially rallied more than +2% on Thursday when President Trump said the US would keep attacking Iran and threatened to seize the Kharg Island oil terminal, Iran’s main crude exporting hub.
The markets are discounting a 0% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Thursday. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up +0.78%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.16%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average recovered from a 2.5-week low and closed up +0.06%.
Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) on Thursday closed up +17 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield fell -9.3 bp to 4.459%. T-notes rallied on Thursday after US weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 4-month high and May producer prices ex-food and energy rose less than expected, dovish factors for Fed policy. T-notes also garnered support on Thursday from the -2% fall in WTI crude oil prices, which lowered inflation expectations. The 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 2.5-month low of 2.303% on Thursday.
Gains in T-notes were limited after stocks rallied sharply, which curbed safe-haven demand for government debt securities. Also, slack demand for the Treasury’s $22 billion auction of 30-year T-bonds was negative for T-notes, as the auction had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.33, below the 10-auction average of 2.39.
European government bond yields moved lower on Thursday. The 10-year German Bund yield fell from a 2.5-week high of 3.091% and finished down -4.5 bp to 3.032%. The 10-year UK gilt yield fell -2.6 bp to 4.905%.
The ECB, as expected, raised the deposit facility rate by +25 bp to 2.25% from 2.00% and said, "The outlook remains uncertain, with upside risks for inflation and downside risks for economic growth."
The ECB cut its 2026 Eurozone GDP estimate to +0.8% from a previous estimate of +0.9% and raised its 2026 Eurozone inflation ex-food and energy forecast to +2.5% from a previous forecast of +2.3%.

Stocks are being undercut as crude oil prices erased early losses and whipsawed higher on concerns about the escalation of Middle East hostilities after President Trump said the US will be hitting Iran very hard tonight and will "at some point" take control of Kharg Island, Iran's key export hub, thus taking control of Iran's oil and gas markets.
Stocks are also pressured by today’s US economic reports, which showed that weekly US jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 4-month high and that May producer prices were mixed.
Late Wednesday, President Trump said the US will continue bombing Iran if it refuses to agree to an interim peace deal. Mr. Trump ordered multiple strikes on Iranian targets on Wednesday, and Iran retaliated by firing on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. The increase in tensions risks derailing peace talks between Iran and the US, thus keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, and further tightening global energy supplies.
US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly rose +4,000 to a 4-month high of 229,000, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of a decline to 220,000.
US May PPI final demand rose +1.1% m/m and +6.5% y/y, stronger than expectations of +0.7% m/m and +6.4% y/y, with the +6.5% y/y gain being the largest year-on-year increase in 3.5 years. However, May PI ex food and energy rose +0.4% m/m and +4.9% y/y, weaker than expectations of +0.5% m/m and +5.4% y/y.
WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) are extremely volatile, whipsawing higher and lower several times today. Crude prices today initially gave up an overnight advance of more than +2% and fell more than -1% as concerns over the escalation of the US-Iran conflict eased after the US ended strikes against Iran. However, prices then rallied more than +1% again when President Trump said the US would keep attacking Iran and threatened to seize the Kharg Island oil terminal, Iran’s main crude exporting hub.
The markets are discounting a 3% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
Overseas stock markets are mixed today. The Euro Stoxx 50 is up +0.89%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.16%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average recovered from a 2.5-week low and closed up +0.06%.
Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) today are up +4 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield is down -3.0 bp to 4.523%. T-notes are moving higher today after US weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 4-month high and May producer prices ex-food and energy rose less than expected, dovish factors for Fed policy.
Gains in T-notes are limited after crude oil prices whipsawed higher after President Trump said the US will keep on attacking Iran and threatened to seize Kharg Island, Iran’s main crude exporting hub. Also, supply pressures are negative for T-notes, as the Treasury will auction $22 billion of 30-year T-bonds later today.
European government bond yields are moving lower today. The 10-year German Bund yield fell from a 2.5-week high of 3.091% and is down -4.1 bp to 3.035%. The 10-year UK gilt yield is down -2.6 bp to 4.905%.
The ECB, as expected, raised the deposit facility rate by +25 bp to 2.25% from 2.00% and said, "The outlook remains uncertain, with upside risks for inflation and downside risks for economic growth."
The ECB cut its 2026 Eurozone GDP estimate to +0.8% from a previous estimate of +0.9%, and raised its 2026 Eurozone inflation ex-food and energy forecast to +2.5% from a previous forecast of +2.3%.
Swaps are discounting a 64% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on July 23.

Stocks Edge Higher as Chipmakers and AI Stocks Rebound

Key Points
He also held fast to his equivalent of a buy recommendation.
This move was made in advance of a 10-for-1 stock split, scheduled for Friday.
A substantial analyst price target increase was the impetus behind KLA Corporation's (NASDAQ: KLAC) market-beating Wednesday. Although the semiconductor diagnostics company's shares still landed in the red that trading session, with a 0.2% decline, they performed better than the benchmark S&P 500 index, which fell by 1.6%.
A 25% improvement
That raiser was Cantor Fitzgerald's C.J. Muse, who lifted his fair value assessment for KLA by 25% in advance of the company's 10-for-1 stock split (slated to occur this coming Friday). It's now $2,000 per share, up notably from his previous price target of $1,600. He maintained his overweight (read: buy) recommendation on the highly specialized chip stock.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
According to reports, Muse's adjustment stems from KLA management's recent raise in advanced packaging revenue guidance to $1 billion. Not surprisingly, the basis for this is higher demand coming from the immense need for smoothly functioning artificial intelligence (AI) hardware.
The analyst also waxed bullish about other corners of KLA's business, such as its more traditional DRAM and NAND segments.
Fingers in several pies
KLA is one of many niche but important companies participating in the AI revolution. This, combined with its solid and foundational business in legacy hardware, positions it well for growth in the coming quarters and years. Its stock feels like a good bet on the direction of the chip market these days.
