What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published January 29, 2026
Lam is a company that makes tools for making chips. Recent news about big ASML orders and positive analyst notes suggests chipmakers will keep buying through 2026. The stock ran up a lot, so the safer way in is to wait for a pullback into support. Main dangers are a quick sector selloff, lower spending plans, and volatile headlines.
Primary drivers
- Big ASML orders suggest more demand for fabrication tools
- AI-related chip building should keep tool orders steady
- Buying after a dip gives a better balance of gain versus risk
- Chip stocks move fast, so sentiment can quickly boost LRCX
