On June 5, KLA Corporation fell 4.27% in regular trading, trading at $1995.95/share, with trading volume of $292 million. The stock had previously reached a 52-week high of $2145.52 before encountering concentrated selling pressure across the semiconductor equipment sector.
On the news front, the semiconductor equipment sector saw broad-based profit-taking following consecutive sessions of gains. Within the sector, ASML Holding fell 3.92%, Applied Materials fell 5.8%, Lam Research fell 6.13%, Teradyne fell 6.56%, and AXT Inc fell 6.51%. The pullback comes after Bernstein raised KLA's target price from $1875 to $1975 and lifted its global wafer fabrication equipment spending forecast to $148 billion, representing a 21.4% year-over-year increase. Combined with the company's announced 1-for-10 stock split plan and sustained AI infrastructure demand, shares had rallied sharply in recent sessions, elevating trading crowdedness and triggering concentrated profit realization.
