KLA Corporation (ISIN US4824801009) was trading at EUR 164.67 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 12:13 p.m. CEST, 2.30 percent above the Xetra close of EUR 160.96. KLA Corporation stock gained 2.30 percent while the company moved toward its October 28 results date.
Three dates define the setup
On June 30, 2026, KLA reported revenue of USD 3.66 billion for the latest disclosed quarter, up 15.00 percent year over year, according to Drillr. On July 28, 2026, the company guided for September-quarter revenue of USD 4.00 billion plus or minus USD 200.00 million, with GAAP gross margin of 61.60 percent plus or minus 1.00 percentage point, the same analysis reported.
On October 1, 2026, KLA announced that it would publish first quarter fiscal 2027 results on October 28, 2026, after the market close, according to KLA. The date makes the September-quarter guidance the next operating test for the semiconductor process-control company.
What tests the 61.60 percent margin?
The revenue target implies a USD 4.00 billion midpoint, compared with USD 3.66 billion in the June quarter. That is a USD 340.00 million sequential increase, while the guided gross-margin midpoint remains 61.60 percent.
Drillr reported that higher memory component costs had reduced gross margin by more than 100 basis points and could remain a pressure point through 2027. For investors, the September-quarter revenue figure matters together with the conversion of that growth into gross profit.
Analysts cut targets on valuation
On October 6, 2026, Morgan Stanley lowered its KLA price target from USD 253.00 to USD 227.00 while keeping an Overweight rating, according to Investing.com. Morgan Stanley simultaneously raised its calendar 2027 revenue forecast from USD 20.40 billion to USD 21.40 billion and projected 42.00 percent growth for KLA against 37.00 percent for the wafer fabrication equipment market.
That combination captures the central tension: stronger demand assumptions can coexist with a lower valuation multiple. The report also cited a cut in Morgan Stanley's target multiple from 36.00 times to 28.00 times, making valuation discipline a material counter-factor to the growth case.
Upcoming dates for shareholders
KLA's next reporting date is October 28, 2026, when the company plans to release first quarter fiscal 2027 results. The annual meeting is scheduled for November 4, 2026, according to Simply Wall St.
