KLA-Tencor Stock News

Applied Materials and two more semiconductor sector stocks are good bets for earnings season, according to Goldman Sachs.

There is a correlation between increasing dividends and strong investment performance — even if a stock has a low dividend yield when you buy.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said earnings season reinforced five investing themes he thinks will produce the market's best buying opportunities. He highlighted stocks to buy for each theme, including Capital One, Ralph Lauren, Lam Research, CrowdStrike, Goldman Sachs and Eli Lilly.

MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The KLA Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC) Board of Directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share on its common stock, payable on Sept.

Of late, some air has come out of the semiconductor bubble, but that's been to the benefit of the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (SOXS). Entering July 27, the leveraged bearish ETF boasted a one-month gain of nearly 58%.

Chip stocks rallied this week on a wave of strong tech earnings, and investors rewarded semiconductor ETFs with a rush of new cash. Three funds tracking the chip sector ranked among those pulling in the most new money, according to FactSet flow data.

Susquehanna analyst Mehdi Hosseini believes the company's growth is constrained even as KLA issues an upbeat forecast.
