On September 1, Lam Research fell 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $291.655/share, with turnover of $145 million. The decline came as multiple investment banks trimmed their price targets on the stock while the broader semiconductor equipment sector faced heavy selling pressure.

On the news front, UBS lowered its price target on Lam Research to $425 from $435 while maintaining a Buy rating. This followed a similar move by Mizuho, which reduced its target to $365 from $370. The consecutive downgrades from major brokerages weighed on market sentiment. According to FactSet, the stock carries an average analyst rating of Buy with a mean price target of $381.37.

The weakness extended across the semiconductor equipment sector. Applied Materials fell 3.66%, KLA Corporation declined 3.02%, Teradyne dropped 5.01%, AXT Inc slid 8.69%, and ASML Holding fell 1.79%, reflecting broad-based pressure on the group. Lam Research is a global leader in semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment, with core operations spanning etch, deposition, and clean processes serving memory, foundry, and integrated device manufacturers.
