Analyst Eric Bleeker noted that while the quarter was solid, the stock's jump was largely a rebound from July's sell-off. He views the valuation as high, trading at over 30 times forward earnings, and is not planning to add more shares, though he considers Lam Research among the best operators in semiconductor equipment. Bleeker remains bullish on the broader semiconductor equipment sector, anticipating 2028 spending could exceed current Wall Street models by about 25%, particularly in advanced packaging and testing.
