Deutsche Bank Comments on Lam Research (LRCX) Stock Split and Buyback

Deutsche Bank analyst Melissa Weathers reiterated a Hold rating and $1,000.00 price target on Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX)

The analyst comments "Before market open, LRCX announced that its BoD has authorized an additional $10b in share repurchases as well as a 10:1 forward split of its common stock. Recall the company has ~$1.2b remaining on its existing share repurchases programs (approved in May-22 with indeterminate completion date) in addition to a ~$700m ASR initiated in Feb-24. Overall, we view the expansion of the share repurchase authorization to be consistent with LRCX's goal of returning 75-100% of FCF to its shareholders, yet view the forward stock split as immaterial to our investments thesis (as with all stock splits). We remain constructive on the co’s medium-term growth opportunities (both cyclical and secular), but with still much debate surrounding the quality of near-term demand and the timing of a broader memory recovery, we await a more favorable entry point. Maintain Hold."
