Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openLam Research warned that shortages of critical upstream components and certified cleanroom space will restrict semiconductor equipment makers' ability to meet demand through 2027. Kulicke and Soffa shares fell 8.4% in the afternoon session, with no company-specific catalyst reported.
The article interviews Dr. Raj Talluri, who joined Kulicke & Soffa's board in August 2026 and became president and chief executive officer in September 2026.

Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC) was selected as the recipient of the 2026 SEMI Award for North America, described as one of the semiconductor industry's highest honors recognizing contributions to semiconductor manufacturing. The award specifically recognizes the company's fluxless thermocompression bonding technology, a chip-attachment process that joins semiconductor chips without using chemical flux.
Kulicke & Soffa announced on October 13, 2026, that it received the 2026 SEMI Award for North America for its fluxless thermocompression bonding technology, an industry honor recognizing technical contributions to semiconductor manufacturing.
On CNBC's Mad Money Lightning Round, Jim Cramer said Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC) is a 'terrific' company, but he still prefers Lam Research (LRCX) as his top pick and Applied Materials (AMAT) as his second choice in the chip equipment space.
