Stock Track | Lam Research Soars 5.09% Intraday After Q3 Earnings Beat and Strong Q4 Guidance

Stock Track04-24

Lam Research's stock soared 5.09% during intraday trading on Friday, continuing its rebound from a recent pullback. The significant surge is attributed to the company's impressive fiscal third-quarter results, which surpassed analyst expectations, and its optimistic outlook for the current quarter.

The semiconductor equipment maker reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.47, beating the consensus estimate of $1.36. Revenue reached a record $5.84 billion, also exceeding forecasts. Furthermore, management provided strong guidance for the fourth quarter, projecting revenue of approximately $6.6 billion, well above market expectations. Company executives expressed confidence in robust, AI-driven demand for semiconductor equipment across DRAM, NAND, foundry, and packaging segments. Following the report, several investment banks, including Citigroup and Oppenheimer, raised their price targets on the stock.

Lam Research also raised its full-year wafer fabrication equipment market estimate to $140 billion, citing a healthy equipment landscape and an accelerated NAND upgrade cycle as key industry tailwinds expected to sustain momentum through 2028. The positive company-specific news contributed to the sharp intraday gain.
