On October 7, Lam Research fell 3.44% in pre-market trading, trading at $322.91 per share with a turnover of $980.23 million. The decline reflects broad weakness across the semiconductor equipment complex, with ASML, Applied Materials, KLA, Teradyne, and AXT Inc all trading lower. Rising long-end Treasury yields and escalating Middle East tensions have prompted profit-taking in technology mega-caps, overshadowing recent target price increases from Morgan Stanley, B. Riley, and Berenberg, which had lifted price objectives to $385, $390, and $420 respectively.
Lam Research designs and manufactures wafer fabrication equipment and services for the global semiconductor industry, serving memory, foundry, and logic device manufacturers worldwide.
