On July 30, Lam Research rose 6.99% in after-hours trading, trading at approximately $270.89/share, with turnover of $35.91 million. The rebound was triggered by the company releasing its quarterly earnings report after the close on July 29, removing pre-earnings uncertainty that had weighed heavily on the stock.
Market expectations for EPS stood at $1.69, representing a notable increase from the prior quarter's $1.47. Following the earnings release, the stock saw a sharp after-hours recovery. Prior to the report, Lam Research had experienced a steep selloff from approximately $306 on July 27, as memory chip stocks including Micron Technology (-5.82%), SK Hynix (-6.83%), and SanDisk (-11%+) suffered a collective rout, with bearish sentiment spreading to the semiconductor equipment sector. Combined with pre-earnings positioning, the dual pressure drove a significant cumulative decline. The earnings announcement eliminated uncertainty, prompting a release of prior oversold pressure.
