What happened
Reached its target in 28 days.
The thesis — published December 8, 2025
Checklist: 1) Explain why Lam could grow; 2) Show the safety from strong cash flow; 3) Say how to buy carefully. Lam supplies machines that chipmakers need to build AI chips. It consistently turns sales into lots of cash (about 28% margin), so it can weather slow patches. As chipmakers spend more on AI, Lam should get more orders and high-margin service revenue. Short-term ups and downs happen, but buying small drops gives exposure to the AI chip spending cycle.
Primary drivers
- Strong cash generation gives a financial cushion in downturns
- Direct link to growing demand for AI and advanced chips
- Media coverage highlights it as a reliable cash producer
- Positive sector mood supports buying small pullbacks
