Lam Research Corporation (LRCX), headquartered in Fremont, California, designs, manufactures, markets, refurbishes, and services semiconductor processing equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. Valued at $122.8 billion by market cap, the company’s products are used to deposit special films on a silicon wafer and etch away portions of various films to create a circuit design.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” and LRCX perfectly fits that description, with its market cap exceeding this mark, underscoring its size, influence, and dominance within the semiconductor equipment & materials industry.
