$KLAC In the semiconductor equipment sector BofA favors KLA Corporation (KLAC), price target $850, because its “leading profit margin and less cyclical topline supports a slightly higher multiple vs. semicap peers.” The bank also likes Applied Materials (AMAT), price target of $222, though it notes the risk of the ongoing U.S. government probe into China shipments.

$KLAC KLA Corp. initiated with an Outperform at Evercore ISI Evercore ISI analyst Mark Lipacis initiated coverage of KLA Corp. with an Outperform rating and $800 price target. The analyst started coverage of the semicap equipment sector with a positive view on industry fundamentals. The firm thinks four secular drivers have transitioned the group from ex-growth to a high-single digit growth industry, and models wafer fab equipment spending of $220B in 2032, up from $100B levels recently.

User Image DonCorleone77 Posted - 2 weeks ago

$KLAC KLA Corp. transferred with Buy rating at Deutsche Bank Deutsche Bank analyst Meliss Weathers transferred coverage of KLA Corp. with a Buy rating and $800 price target. Key mega trends in technology, like artificial intelligence, fab-reshoring and growing semiconductor content per application, have put a spotlight on the chip industry in recent years, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says the combination of "trough estimates and promising long-term drivers" has yielded semiconductor capital equipment valuations at the "very high end of their historical trading ranges and investor comfort levels." It agrees these names deserve a degree of re-rating higher, but believes "these lofty valuations warrant increased investor caution ahead of likely upward estimate revisions."
