Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 36 days.
The thesis — published September 21, 2025
Lam benefits from the rush to build AI chips, which boosts demand for its tools and advanced packaging. A new partnership with JSR and Stifel keeping a Buy rating support confidence. The uptrend is firm, but the price has run up fast, so buying on dips and adding only when strength returns is sensible. If the price moves clearly above a recent ceiling, a 3-month climb could follow.
Primary drivers
- AI needs more chip-making and packaging tools, lifting Lam's equipment sales
- Partnering with JSR supports Lam's product plans and future feature roadmap
- Strong recent demand, but price ran up fast; patience on entries is sensible
- Stifel keeps a Buy, which helps maintain investor confidence in the story
