Semiconductor Stocks Climb in Premarket Trade Following Intel Manufacturing MilestoneJune 17, 2026 8:46 AM
IH Market News Chipmakers moved higher in premarket trading on Wednesday, with Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) leading the sector after announcing a significant advancement in its next-generation manufacturing technology. The gains helped reverse some of the weakness seen across semiconductor stocks during Tuesday’s session, lifting sentiment across the broader industry. Intel Leads Sector Higher Intel shares rose roughly 4% before the opening bell after the company revealed that its advanced 18A-P manufacturing process has entered the risk production phase, an important stage ahead of large-scale commercial manufacturing. The positive update also boosted other semiconductor names. Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) gained 2.8%, Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX) advanced 2.9%, and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) climbed 3.5% in premarket trading. New Manufacturing Process Delivers Efficiency Gains According to Intel, the 18A-P node provides a 9% increase in performance compared with the original 18A process while operating at the same power level. Alternatively, the company said the technology can reduce power consumption by 18% while maintaining equivalent processing performance. Intel also highlighted improvements in thermal efficiency and design flexibility, which are intended to support the development of increasingly complex semiconductor products. Compatibility Designed to Accelerate Adoption A key feature of the 18A-P process is its compatibility with the existing 18A ecosystem. Because both technologies use the same design rules, customers can reuse existing intellectual property and development workflows without the need for major redesign efforts. This approach is expected to simplify migration to the new node and reduce development costs for chipmakers. AI Demand Continues to Support Growth The manufacturing update comes as demand for processors used in artificial intelligence infrastructure continues to accelerate. Companies investing heavily in AI computing capacity are driving increased demand for advanced chips, providing additional support for Intel’s manufacturing ambitions and foundry strategy. The announcement reinforces confidence that the company remains on track with its long-term technology roadmap. Strategic Partnerships Expand Industry Reach Earlier this month, Intel unveiled a series of collaborations with major industry partners, including Foxconn, Siemens, Hitachi, Echo Neurotechnologies and Greenstone Biosciences. The partnerships are focused on developing integrated customer solutions built around Intel processors and specialized silicon platforms tailored to specific industry applications. Through these alliances, Intel aims to strengthen its presence across a range of markets while capitalizing on growing demand for AI-enabled computing solutions.

PR Newswire (US)

U.S. Senator Risch, Micron and Community Leaders Celebrate New Lam Office; Lam Builds on Three Decades in the 'City of Trees'BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ: LRCX) commemorated the opening of its new office in Boise, Idaho, joined by U.S. Senator Jim Risch, representatives of Micron Technology, Inc. and other distinguished local government, community, and academic leaders. The new office will initially support approximately 150 Lam personnel from the greater Boise area focused on collaborative research, development and high-volume manufacturing of Micron's leading-edge memory technology, with room for future growth. "Lam's expansion in Idaho provides critical infrastructure near one of our largest customers and enables us to accelerate our operations in America's leading hub for world-class memory chip manufacturing," said Neil Fernandes, senior vice president of Global Customer Operations for Lam Research, who cut the ribbon at today's ceremony. "As we celebrate our new office, we also demonstrate our commitment to our talented employees, the City of Trees community, and Micron to drive breakthroughs to enable the next generation of advanced memory chips."Found in state-of-the-art fabs across the U.S. and around the globe, Lam's innovative manufacturing equipment and processes are used to create nearly every advanced chip in the world. Building on Lam's more than 30 years in Boise, the new 9,200 sq. ft. office is the company's latest U.S. expansion and part of a multi-year strategy to increase the company's operational and innovation velocity to support chipmakers enabling the artificial intelligence (AI) era.Among Lam's customers is Boise-headquartered Micron, who recently awarded Lam as Outstanding Front End Equipment Supplier of the Year in 2025."Micron's memory manufacturing operations in Boise—along with our planned expansions—are essential to strengthening America's technology leadership," said John Whitman, corporate vice president of central engineering and procurement at Micron. "The advanced deposition and etch tools from Lam Research installed in our state-of-the-art fabs allow us to produce high performance, high-capacity memory chips with extraordinary precision at the atomic scale. We are grateful for Lam's longstanding partnership and congratulate them on their new office. We look forward to continuing to grow together as we drive U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.""A strong supply of American-made semiconductors is critical to strengthening our economy and bolstering U.S. national security. Lam Research's new Boise office and fabrication equipment further solidify Idaho's strong leadership in semiconductor manufacturing. Continued investment in the Treasure Valley will not only support job creation but also benefit the Gem State's economy and cutting-edge work in technological advancement," said Senator Jim Risch. Craig Quarterman, district director for U.S. Congressman Mike Simpson, was also in attendance at the event. Additional speakers included Sandy Anderson of the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Nancy Glenn, vice president of research and economic development at Boise State University, and Laura Honn, director of revenue and outreach for Women's and Children's Alliance, representing two of the many academic institutions, associations, and organizations with whom Lam works closely to foster future talent and support community resilience in Idaho.Lam's state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment brings together diverse disciplines such as plasma physics, materials science, advanced robotics, and artificial intelligence to create semiconductor fabrication solutions that deliver both nanoscale-level precision and excellent production economics.

Applied Materials slips before earnings as Lynx flags valuation risksFebruary 12, 2026 9:36 AM
IH Market News
Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) edged 1.14% lower in premarket trading after Lynx Equity Strategies struck a cautious tone ahead of the chip equipment maker’s upcoming earnings release.The brokerage warned that investor expectations may be running ahead of fundamentals as markets await the company’s latest results. Attention is focused on how Applied Materials will navigate the current semiconductor spending cycle.Lynx pointed in particular to the industry’s anticipated DRAM-led capital expenditure cycle. While increased memory investment could underpin some top-line growth, the firm questioned whether that would be enough to narrow the performance gap with peers.“Net/net we are cautious into print vs. the bullish expectations on the Street. Into a DRAM-heavy capex cycle, AMAT stock could make progress on an absolute basis as long as the revenue growth through the year is inline with WFE growth. However, in order for AMAT to close the performance gap with LRCX, a DRAM-heavy cycle alone is not going to help, in our view,” Lynx stated in their note.The commentary suggests that although higher memory-related spending may offer support, it may not be sufficient for Applied Materials to meaningfully outperform competitors such as Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX) in the near term.Applied Materials stock price

Why Sell-Rated Lam Research (LRCX) Could Be Primed for a Comeback

A global supplier of innovative wafer fabrication equipment and services to the semiconductor industry, Lam Research (LRCX) plays an underappreciated but critical role for the broader technology ecosystem. While LRCX stock has fared better than many other innovators on a year-to-date basis, it has struggled over the past 52 weeks, down 18%. Making matters worse, its technical performance rates as a 64% Sell.

Fortunately, there may be better times ahead.

Can’t Get Enough Options?: Join the list for Barchart’s daily unusual options report, delivered free.
Over the last 10 weeks, the bulls and bears have been locked in a fierce competition, with the pessimists taking the edge by printing a “5-5” sequence: five weeks of upside interspersed with five weeks of downside, with an overall negative trajectory across the time period.

What’s significant about this rather mundane pattern in any other security is the underlying sentiment. Whenever this sequence flashes, the following week’s long-side success ratio pops to 61.9%. Not only that, for the past one-year period, there were five 10-week sequences with a net negative trajectory, which is quite rare.

Typically, bearish-dominant streaks (either in terms of down-week volume or net trajectory) see a relatively quick counterresponse by the bulls. That didn’t happen over the past year, raising the prospects of pent-up demand.

Indeed, we’re seeing early evidence of a sentiment shift, with LRCX stock gaining over 5% in the trailing week and swinging up over 14% in the past month. Based on demand sequences, though, Lam Research could just be getting started.


Assuming the positive pathway materializes (the one with the nearly 62% chance of occurring), LRCX stock could potentially be trading around $77 at the close of May 9. By the end of May, it’s possible, though hardly guaranteed, that the equity will land at about $79.47. These numbers stem from historical trends tied to LRCX’s responses to the aforementioned 5-5 sequence.

Using the Market’s Current to Expertly Navigate LRCX Stock
With the derivatives arena representing a market within a market, forecasting future prices is never a straightforward task. Because investors must contend with non-linearity and an open system, this framework means that random events can enter the paradigm and destroy a well-crafted thesis in a nanosecond.

That’s the randomness of Wall Street that no one can escape. Fortunately, a Barchart Premier subscription can help even the odds.

One key feature with which to familiarize yourself is Barchart’s Gamma Exposure screen. By the book, gamma exposure measures the change in delta exposure for options based on changes in the underlying price. The easier way to understand gamma is that it’s essentially the option market’s current — some setups will either accelerate or drag your trade as the underlying share price moves.

As a quick summary, low gamma exposure represents a stable backdrop, with delta (or your position’s direction and speed) changing slowly. Movements are less amplified, with price action demonstrating a more natural cadence.


On the other hand, high gamma exposure is the equivalent of strong currents. Here, small movements in the share price can cause big shifts in dealer hedging. This dynamic creates a feedback loop, forcing additional hedging behaviors that push prices toward a particular trajectory. If you happen to be on the right side of this feedback loop, your position can gain value rapidly.

In the case of LRCX stock and specifically the options chain expiring May 30, gamma exposure varies across the strike prices. Up to the $75 strike price, the current is relatively calm. Between $75 and $80, though, gamma buildup is elevated. Should LRCX break into this range, the subsequent hedging behavior could potentially provide a major tailwind.

Putting It All Together
As stated earlier, LRCX stock has been printing bearishly dominated trading sequences, which is unusual given its track record. I anticipate a relatively brisk rise to above the $79 level over the next four weeks. As such, I’m intrigued by the 76/79 bull call spread expiring May 30.

This transaction involves buying the $76 call and simultaneously selling the $79 call, for a net debit paid of $139. Should LRCX stock rise through the short strike price of $79 at expiration, the maximum reward clocks in at $161, a payout of nearly 116%.

Here’s where circumstances get intriguing. Up until $75, gamma exposure is relatively light. However, above this price point to $80, the stronger currents could force a feedback loop, thus accelerating LRCX stock. Given the high-probability nature of this trading setup, Lam Research should be on your watchlist throughout this month.

As stated by a financial commentator

"Morningstar has one of the most comprehensive assessments I’ve seen, incorporating historical data from past epidemics. It reads more like an article from a healthcare journal than a financial media site. Their conclusion: global GDP could take a 5.0% hit at worst this year, or a mild 0.10% ding at best.

The median and most likely scenario calls for a negative GDP impact of 1.25%.

When you’re talking about trillions in lost economic activity, every basis point counts. But a 1% to 2% deceleration in GDP is nothing we haven’t seen before. More importantly, Morningstar rates the long-term impact as negligible.

The Bright Side...
This disease will leave some scars behind. But after it has run its course, most quality companies will make a full recovery. Our economy is nothing if not resilient."
…...…….
This would particularly pertain to LRCX.

We are back to your price, a great entry point. A great stock.

Lam Research reached $344 one month ago

Now we are at $194, but that is just temporary and due to the coronavirus shutting down the company's facilities:

https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2020/03/17/lam-research-corporation-provides-business-update-for-the-fiscal-quarter-ending

The coronavirus may run its course faster than most people expect. It has already peaked, and is receding, in the countries that were first effected. Plus now the combination hydroxychloroquine—a drug used to treat malaria, and azithromycin—an antibiotic that is known to be effective against complications from bacterial lung disease, has been shown to be very effective against the effects brought on by the coronavirus.

It may take 6 to 9 months for LRCX to to get back to its regular production schedule, but after that its price should start a sustained rise and eventually pass its recent high.

$LRCX No need to stress out yet, it is still a cheap stock

It is quite surprising that today was not more of a massacre for the chip/semi sector , bargain hunters stepped in just after the open to buy up what the algos were selling and weak hands were selling. It really was not much of a surprise that AVGO had a negative outlook, what did anyone expect? Apple , Huawei and Trump is all that needs to be considered, until one or all of those factors change chips and semis will suffer. It's a matter of sticking with the better names with a reasonable p/e ratio , it must be also remembered to block out the opinions of those in the media who actually don't trade and make a living from sensationalism.

Lam Research (LRCX) Gets Crushed After Analyst Issues Cautious View, Watch This Level

This morning, leading semiconductor equipment maker, Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX) is getting hammered to the downside after an analyst issued a cautious view on shipments. The stock is trading lower by $11.82 to $187.79 a share. At this point in time, LRCX stock is testing its important 50-week moving average. This moving average has been very important for LCRX stock. The last three times the 50-week moving average has been tested it has held as major support. Should this key support level fail, then traders must look down to the $174.00 area for institutional sponsorship in LRCX stock. This level was where LRCX broke out in February 2018. Some other important stocks that are declining in sympathy to LRCX today include, Applied Materials Inc (AMAT:NASDAQ), and KLA-Tencor Corp (KLAC:NASDAQ).

LRCX trading signals alerted traders and investors in mid-May of today's current downward trend. The Q2 and Q3 shipment decrease as well as the general volatility of the stock price added up with this one. Hope everyone caught that one and moved into the sell zone before today. #BluSignals
