Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 67 days.
The thesis — published October 27, 2025
Lam makes tools that chip factories need. Two big trends are helping: more chips for AI, which makes each factory step more complex, and memory makers restarting orders after a slump. A respected investment firm recently bought shares, hinting at steady demand. Even though the pace cooled after a strong run, trading interest remains healthy. If chipmakers do not delay spending, shares could grind higher over the next three months.
Primary drivers
- A well-known fund reported buying shares, signaling confidence and demand.
- AI and advanced memory raise chip-tool needs per factory step and per wafer.
- Memory makers are lifting orders after a downturn, improving sales visibility.
- Price cooled a bit after gains, but trading interest and volume look healthy.
