KLA Jumps After 10-for-1 Stock Split; AI Chip Boom Lifts Hopes on Tools

KLA Corporation finished Friday at $254.54, gaining 5.55%. Shares started at $237.60 and hit a session high of $254.93. The stock, which is in the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500, has surged about 19% in two days after its split adjustment. The rally comes as investors reprice chip-equipment makers linked to AI demand.

Chip stocks brace for holiday week: Applied Materials surges, Nvidia slides — what to watch next

Applied Materials surprised with a bullish forecast, offering a rare win for U.S. semiconductor names after a turbulent stretch. The chip equipment giant projected second-quarter revenue near $7.65 billion, give or take $500 million, and adjusted earnings of $2.64 a share, plus or minus 20 cents—both clearing Wall Street’s bar. The stock at one point soared more than 10% Friday. Competitors Lam Research and KLA moved higher as well. At least 22 analysts lifted price targets on Applied after the numbers came through. CEO Gary Dickerson credited “the acceleration of industry investments in AI computing” for the jump. Morningstar’s William Kerwin described the moment as “a massive wafer fabrication equipment growth cycle,” pointing to tight supply for high-bandwidth memory chips feeding AI processors.
