On July 17, Lam Research fell 3.32% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $306.81/share, with turnover of $2.6673 million.
On the news front, the semiconductor equipment sector extended its pullback, with peers Applied Materials down 4.39%, Teradyne down 4.63%, AXT Inc down 4.08%, KLA-Tencor down 3.99%, and ASML down 1.82%, reflecting broad-based selling pressure across the group. Additionally, negative sentiment from CEO Timothy Archer's earlier sale of 30,000 shares at $390.01 per share — totaling approximately $11.7 million in proceeds — continues to weigh on investor confidence.
The stock has declined sharply from mid-July highs despite multiple Wall Street firms raising price targets, with the consensus target at approximately $376.82. The company is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on July 29 after market close, with consensus EPS expectations of $1.69 versus $1.47 in the prior quarter.
