Dividend and valuation

Yahoo Finance says Lam Research announced a cash dividend of USD 0.33 with an ex-dividend date of September 23, 2026, and it lists EPS (TTM) at 5.75 and revenue (TTM) at USD 23.23 billion. The same page shows net income attributable to common shareholders of USD 7.27 billion and a profit margin of 31.27 percent.

On September 1, 2026, Yahoo Finance listed UBS as maintaining a Buy rating while lowering the price target from USD 435 to USD 425. Its average analyst target stood at USD 370.87, below the intraday quote of USD 323.36 shown on September 8, 2026.

Semiconductor demand stays central

The company description on Yahoo Finance says Lam Research builds semiconductor processing equipment for chips made in the United States, China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe. That business mix helps explain why the stock moved with the broader semiconductor group, where peer names also traded firmer on September 8, 2026.

GuruFocus said on September 8, 2026 that Lam Research traded at USD 320.42 and stood 110.7 percent above its GF Value estimate of USD 152.04. The same article put the 52-week range at USD 100.68 to USD 438.50, framing the stock as expensive even after the recent advance.

October 21 is next

Yahoo Finance lists an earnings date of October 21, 2026, alongside a forward dividend of USD 1.32 and a yield of 0.43 percent. That date now sets the next visible checkpoint for investors watching whether margin strength and cash returns can support the current valuation.
