KLA Corporation (KLAC) has experienced a tumultuous period with its stock outperforming the market on several occasions and hitting a new 52-week high of $790.95, yet also seeing a number of falls, including from an all-time high due to weak guidance. Despite the volatility, impressive performances have been noted, such as beating Q1 2024 earnings and revenue estimates. Institutional shareholders maintain significant control with 88% ownership, and several investment firms, including SageView Advisory Group and Intech Investment Management, have recently invested. Some weak projections are affecting the stock price, but KLAC surpassed revenue forecasts and was in line with EPS projections in Q3 FY2024. Many investors have earned substantial returns, with a five-year CAGR of 43-44%. The firm appears to be utilising debt sensibly, and the company’s senior executives have made notable share dealings. Despite some Q2 sales beating estimates, the stock dropped, potentially due to other factors. There are strong indications of KLAC being a solid growth stock and their work in sub-5nm chip production continues to yield high benefits. However, the stock underwent a drop following a weak outlook for Q3 earnings.
