Corporation recently held its March 12 analyst day, reaffirming its fiscal Q3 2026 outlook, setting 2030 targets of about US$26.00 billion in revenue and US$84.00 EPS, and outlining industry tailwinds from AI-driven chip demand and advanced packaging. Around the same time, KLA also authorized an extra US$7.00 billion in share repurchases and raised its quarterly dividend by 21%, even as sector-wide worries about supply chains, regulation, and valuation pressured semiconductor equipment providers.
