The thesis — published January 16, 2026
Lam Research makes the machines that chipmakers use. Right now analysts expect chipmakers to spend more, which usually means more orders for Lam. The stock has run up, so buying after a small pullback is safer than chasing sudden jumps. This approach keeps you aligned with the expected uptrend over the next few months.
Primary drivers
- More spending by foundries and memory makers drives tool orders
- Newer chip designs require more complex equipment and upgrades
- Upgrades and higher analyst targets can keep buying interest going
