Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openLam Research is investing Rs 9,298 crore in a new silicon-component manufacturing facility in Karnataka, India, with land already allotted. The investment is part of a broader Rs 15,000 crore inflow into the state, alongside Applied Materials' Rs 3,600 crore expansion.
At Semicon India 2026, major chipmakers including Lam Research, Applied Materials, Micron, ASML, and Infineon committed to building equipment manufacturing, assembly, research, and design operations in India, but no company announced a new chip fabrication plant.
An analysis piece questioning whether Lam Research's current share price is justified given its very strong past returns of about 372% over the last five years.
Lam Research plans to invest about $1.04 billion (roughly 100 billion Indian rupees) in India over the next several years. The money will go toward its first silicon component manufacturing plant in the country and an expansion of its advanced research and development operations.
An opinion piece compares Applied Materials (AMAT) and Lam Research (LRCX) as wafer fabrication equipment stocks benefiting from AI-driven chip demand, and concludes that AMAT is the safer pick due to its broader product portfolio.
