Current thesis
Stronger-than-expected AI and advanced-packaging capex drives multi-quarter order momentum, higher utilization at fabs, and improved pricing for Lam's high-value tools; scenario supports sustained upside toward the analyst high of $325 if execution and bookings persist.

Confirming evidence

Contradictions & invalidation

  • • Cyclical capex softness / order push-outs
