Key financials KLA reports exceptional profitability: ROE 87.5%, ROA 20.8%, ROCE 41.5%, with gross, operating, and net margins of 61.3%, 42.5%, and 35.6%. Revenue and EPS growth are 11.7% and 20.5%, respectively, supported by strong cash metrics (Piotroski 7/9, Z-score 14.49).
Stock health Momentum is mixed: -16.35% over 3 months, +18.85% over 6 months, +97.03% over 12 months, and -44.34% below the 52-week high. RSI(14) at 33.50 indicates oversold conditions.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a discount of 37.10% versus the analyst mean target of 234.35. - Recent sector rotation pressured semiconductor equipment peers (Entegris, Teradyne, Applied Materials) alongside KLA (2026-09-01). - Global bond selloff weighed on equities, including KLA (2026-09-01). - High valuation metrics (P/E 47.96, EV/EBITDA 38.41) contrast with strong fundamentals.
Looking forward Forward P/E of 34.01 and PEG of 0.83 suggest high expectations are priced in, while the discount to target may reflect near-term sector volatility rather than long-term fundamentals.
