Lam is a top maker of machines used to build chips. The chip industry is forecast to grow toward $1 trillion by 2026, and investors are focused on AI-related chip names. Shares pulled back and have calmed after a big run, so it's a sensible way to get AI-capex exposure on dips, though it's pricier than some peers like Micron.

Primary drivers

  • Key maker of etch and deposition tools for major chip fabs.
  • Industry forecast points to years of factory spending.
  • Shares settled into a steadier range after a big rise.
  • Tailwinds from AI and memory demand, but valuation is rich.
