Business profile

Updated

Lam Research is a global supplier of wafer-fabrication equipment and services to semiconductor manufacturers. Founded in 1980, it is headquartered in Fremont, California. It sells to memory-chip makers, foundries that manufacture chips for other companies, and integrated device manufacturers that design and make their own chips.

Its tools perform repeated steps in making many chips on a silicon wafer. Deposition tools add insulating or conducting films; etch tools selectively remove material to create chip features; and clean tools remove particles, residues and contaminants between manufacturing steps. These processes must work with increasingly complex materials and structures at very small dimensions.

Financial Analysis (summary)

Updated

Lam Research reported $23.2 billion of revenue, $7.3 billion of net income and $5.76 of diluted EPS in FY2026. In Q4 FY2026, revenue was $6.7 billion, net income was $2.3 billion and diluted EPS was $1.81.

Profitability margins increased in FY2026, while operating cash flow and free cash flow declined from FY2025. At FY2026 year-end, total debt was $3.7 billion, cash and short-term investments were $5.6 billion, and net debt was −$1.8 billion.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
